With FSA's Direct Farm Ownership loan, 'we keep America's agriculture growing.'

The long-term goal of the program is to re-establish valuable land cover to help improve water quality, prevent soil erosion, and reduce loss of wildlife habitat. Contracts for land enrolled in CRP are 10-15 years in length. In exchange for a yearly rental payment, farmers enrolled in the program agree to remove environmentally sensitive land from agricultural production and plant species that will improve environmental health and quality. The Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP) provides financial assistance to owners and operators of agricultural and non-industrial private forest land who wish to establish, produce, and deliver biomass feedstocks.ĬRP is a land conservation program administered by FSA. The effective price equals the higher of the market year average price (MYA) or the national average loan rate for the covered commodity.įor more information on ARC/PLC Program click here. PLC program payments are issued when the effective price of a covered commodity is less than the respective reference price for that commodity. ARC-CO payments are issued when the actual county crop revenue of a covered commodity is less than the ARC-CO guarantee for the covered commodity.

The ARC-CO program provides income support tied to historical base acres, not current production, of covered commodities.
