Ag census forms still being accepted
Conducted every five years by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service, the census provides detailed data covering nearly every facet of U.S. agriculture. Government organizations, lawmakers, town planners and individual farm operations can use this vital information to help them plan for future facilities, services and community growth. Producers can return their forms by mail or, for the first time, they have the convenient option of filling out the census online. For more information about the census, visit www.agcensus.usda.gov. The census is your voice, your future and your responsibility. Continuous CRP Available USDA has recently indicated there will not be general signups scheduled for the Conservation Reserve Program in 2008. The budget for FY 2008 assumes no available funding for CRP general signups. However, environmentally sensitive acreage qualifying for the Continuous CRP will still be eligible for enrollment. These targeted programs will remain funded, and continue to provide a heightened environmental benefit on select areas. Boll Weevil Eradication Program May 1 is the final date to timely file your intended cotton acreage for BWEP reporting purposes. The fee for 2008 intended acres are as follows: Prior to May 1 - $2.50 per acre May 2 to June 1 - $3.50 per acre June 2 to July 15 - $4.50 per acre Fees are due July 15. Any new acres intended or reported and payments received on or after July 16 will be charged $5.50 peracre. Payments received after Feb. 1, 2009, will be charged a fee of $7.50 per acre.
IMPORTANT: July 15, 2008, is the deadline for cotton destruction for a refund.
