March 19 is the 40th anniversary of National Ag Day. It’s not a day that seems to get a lot of attention. Which is kind of surprising since so much of what makes this country great can be traced back to our agricultural roots. And because American agriculture plays such an critical economic and food security role in our state, our country and around the world. Not to mention that we all must have food to live. As the old saying goes, "if you ate today, thank a farmer". For more information click on the title above.
Most programs enacted by the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 expired in 2012 or were set to expire with 2012 crops. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA) extends authority under the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (the 2008 farm bill) for one year --to 2013--for selected programs administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA). In general, the program provisions for 2013 remain the same as for 2012, with some exceptions noted below. Without ATRA, legislative authority for 2013 would have automatically reverted to the "permanent law" provisions of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 and the Agriculture Act of 1949, which provide for very high support levels.

FSA has a national website for producers to list information concerning the need for or the ability of hay.
