Is ACRE the Option for You?
The Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program was first introduced with the passage of the 2008 Farm Bill. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extended both the ACRE program and the Direct and Counter-cyclical program (DCP) through 2013. This extension allows producers to choose to enroll in either DCP or ACRE for the 2013 crop year. This means even if you weren’t previously enrolled in ACRE you now have the opportunity to be in the program for 2013. Likewise, if you were previously enrolled in ACRE throughout the 2008 Farm Bill, you can now choose to enroll in DCP.
Unsure if ACRE is the right option for you? ACRE is a revenue-based safety net as opposed to the price-based safety net provided by counter-cyclical payments. The tools below provide additional information about the ACRE program. Consider ACRE as an option for your operation this crop year.
