USDA Reminds Producers of Approaching Sign-Up Deadline for 2012 Direct and Counter-Cyclical Program and Average Crop Revenue Election Program

    U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency (FSA) Rutherford County CED today reminded producers that enrollment for the 2012 Direct and Counter-Cyclical Program (DCP) and the Average Crop Revenue Election Program (ACRE) ends on June 1, 2012.


    “We want producers to know that DCP and ACRE are still available for enrollment,” said Davis. “Producers who want to participate in DCP or ACRE must enroll their eligible farms. We encourage them to take the time to sign up before the deadline. Electronic DCP (eDCP) is a great option for enrolling during this busy planting season.”

    Producers who choose to participate in either the revenue-based ACRE safety net or the price-based DCP safety net must enroll their farms each year. All owners and operators who will share in the DCP or ACRE payments on the farm must sign up by June 1. Since 2009, producers have had the option to participate in DCP or ACRE. A producer who initially chose to remain in DCP has an option to switch to ACRE during the current enrollment period; however, producers who chose to enroll in ACRE cannot switch back to DCP.

    Producers can make use of the electronic DCP (eDCP) automated website to sign up, or they can visit the Rutherford FSA county office to complete their 2012 DCP or ACRE enrollment form. eDCP saves time, reduces paperwork and speeds up contract processing. It is available to all producers who are eligible to participate in the DCP and ACRE programs and can be accessed at www.fsa.usda.gov/dcp. To access the service, producers must have an active USDA eAuthentication Level 2 account, which requires completing an online registration form at http://www.eauth.egov.usda.gov/ followed by a visit to the local USDA Service Center for identity verification.

    For more info, contact Rutherford County FSA Service Center @ 121 Laurel Dr. Rutherfordton 828-287-4220 or www.fsa.usda.gov/dcp.
