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/acre May 2 to June 1 - $3.50/acre June 2 to July 15 - $4.50/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/acre. Payments received after February 1, 2009 will be charged a fee of $7.50/acre. IMPORTANT: July 15, 2008 is the deadline for cotton destruction for a refund. Reporting Crop Acreage The annual requirement of reporting to the FSA office can be referred to as crop reporting, acreage reporting, or crop certification. Filing an accurate and timely report for all crops and land uses, including failed acreage, can prevent loss of benefits for a variety of Farm Service Agency programs. All cropland on the farm must be reported to receive benefits from the Direct and Counter-cyclical Program, marketing assistance loans and Load Deficiency Payments. Conservation Reserve Program acreage must be reported to receive annual rental payments. And, crop acreage for Non-insured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) must also be reported. Crop reports, form FSA- 578, Report of Acreage, must account for all cropland on a farm, whether idle or planted. Producers are required to file reports by July 15 for all Spring/Summer-seeded crops. NOTE: Producers with crops having NAP coverage may be required to report earlier; contact your local FSA office. Prevented Planting: Prevented planting needs to be reported no later than 15 calendar days after the final planting date, as established by Federal Crop Insurance.
Failed Acreage: Reports of failed acreage must be filed before disposition of the crop, and producers must be able to establish to the satisfaction of the county committee that the crop failed and was prevented from being replanted through the normal planting period because of natural disaster conditions.
