Sign-ups for USDA risk management programs are open, and a Farm Service Agency official says offices have been busy. Greg Biba is the Chief Program Specialist for FSA in Wisconsin, and he says, “Our offices have definitely seen activity, for sure.”
Biba says farmers have been making appointments at local offices. “I know they’re calling to get some appointments to get in and make some risk management decisions for dairy and at the same time, they’re completing that work they need to do for ARC-PLC.”
The Dairy Margin Coverage program is also open for enrollment. Biba says sign-up for that program was delayed.
