Jackson, Miss. – October 4, 2012 – Michael R. Sullivan, USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Executive Director for Mississippi, announced that FSA will issue Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and Direct and Counter-cyclical Program (DCP) payments during the first few weeks of October.
“FSA will issue the payments timely as long as all producer eligibility requirements have been met,” said Sullivan.
CRP and DCP payments could be affected if producers have not submitted the required Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) forms. Affected producers will need to submit the proper AGI forms before payments can be issued. In addition, producers who signed up for CRP emergency haying and grazing but did not pay in advance will notice that their annual rental payments have been reduced to reflect the acreage that was hayed or grazed.
“Producers who were affected by county office consolidations will not experience payment delays,” said Sullivan. “All county office payments, regardless of consolidations, will be generated at the same time as long as all other eligibility requirements are met,” he said.
For more information on CRP and DCP payments, contact a local FSA office.
