The extended programs include, among
others: the Direct and Counter-Cyclical Payment Program (DCP), the Average Crop
Revenue Election Program (ACRE), and the Milk Income Loss Contract Program (MILC). FSA is preparing the following
actions:
· FSA will begin sign-ups for DCP and ACRE for the 2013 crops
on Feb. 19, 2013. The DCP sign-up period will end on Aug. 2, 2013; the ACRE
sign-up period will end on June 3, 2013.
o The
2013 DCP and ACRE program provisions are unchanged from 2012, except that all
eligible participants in 2013 may choose to enroll in either DCP or ACRE for
the 2013 crop year. This means that eligible producers who were enrolled in
ACRE in 2012 may elect to enroll in DCP in 2013 or may re-enroll in ACRE in
2013 (and vice versa).
· All dairy producers’ MILC contracts are automatically
extended to Sept. 30, 2013. Eligible producers therefore do not need to
re-enroll in MILC. Specific details regarding certain modifications to MILC
will be released soon.
FSA will provide producers with
information on program requirements, updates and signups as the information
becomes available. Any additional details will be posted on FSA’s website.

programs and loans administered by FSA, visit any FSA county office or www.fsa.usda.gov
