Acreage Reporting Deadline Extended to August 14

Jack Salava, Acting State Executive Director of USDA’s Kansas Farm Service Agency announced today that the acreage reporting deadline of August 1 has been extended to August 14, 2009.

August 14 is now the deadline to report acreages of spring seeded crops, Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), and Non-insurance Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP). This deadline also applies to prevented planting and failed acreage reports. Late-filed fees will apply after August 14, 2009.

For NAP purposes, producers are required to file an acreage report by August 14 but no later than 15 calendar days before the onset of harvest.

August 14 is also the deadline to apply for the Direct and Counter-Cyclical Program (DCP) and the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) Program. No late-filed applications will be accepted.
