2015-07-16; vol. 80 # 136 - Thursday, July 16, 2015 80 FR 41987 - Conservation Reserve Program
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Commodity Credit Corporation, Farm Service Agency Interim rule. Effective Date: This rule is effective July 16, 2015. Comment Date: We will consider comments that we receive by September 14, 2015. 7 CFR Part 718 Summary This rule amends the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) regulations to implement provisions of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (the 2014 Farm Bill). This rule specifies eligibility requirements for enrollment of grassland in CRP and adds references to veteran farmers and ranchers to the provisions for Transition Incentives Program contracts, among other changes. The provisions in this rule for eligible land primarily apply to new CRP offers and contracts. For existing contracts, this rule provides additional voluntary options for permissive uses, early terminations, conservation and land improvements, and incentive payments for tree thinning. This rule also makes conforming changes to provisions applicable to multiple Farm Service Agency (FSA) and Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) programs, which include CRP, administered by FSA, including acreage report requirements, compliance monitoring, and equitable relief provisions.
2015-01-02; vol. 80 # 1 - Friday, January 2, 2015 80 FR 114 - Marketing Assistance Loans, Loan Deficiency Payments, and Sugar Loans
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Commodity Credit Corporation, Farm Service Agency Final rule. Effective Date: January 2, 2015. 7 CFR Part 718 Summary The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is revising regulations on behalf of the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) as required by the Agricultural Act of 2014 (2014 Farm Bill) to update the Marketing Assistance Loan (MAL) and Loan Deficiency Payments (LDP) Programs for wheat, feed grains, soybeans, oilseeds, peanuts, pulse crops, cotton, honey, wool and mohair. In general, the 2014 Farm Bill extends the existing programs with the minor changes that are implemented in this rule, including a revised formula for upland cotton loan rates. This rule also amends the regulations for the Economic Adjustment Assistance for Users of Upland Cotton Program, the Extra Long Staple (ELS) Cotton Competitiveness Payment Program, and the Sugar Program to reflect that the programs were extended by the 2014 Farm Bill. Most of the provisions in this rule have already been implemented, beginning with the 2014 crop year.
2014-12-15; vol. 79 # 240 - Monday, December 15, 2014 79 FR 74562 - Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Commodity Credit Corporation, Farm Service Agency Interim rule. Effective Date: December 15, 2014. Comment Date: We will consider comments that we receive by February 13, 2015. 7 CFR Part 718 Summary This rule implements changes to the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) as required by the Agricultural Act of 2014 (the 2014 Farm Bill), including changes to eligible crops, provisions governing eligibility of native sod acreage, additional coverage levels, and waivers of service fees and premium reductions for beginning, limited resource, and socially disadvantaged producers. This rule also clarifies requirements for eligible types and causes of loss and expands coverage for eligible mollusk and other aquaculture losses. This rule clarifies that the Farm Service Agency (FSA) may set separate market prices for organic crops and for direct to consumer sales. The changes are relatively minor and do not change the core purpose of NAP, which is to provide financial assistance to producers of non-insurable crops when low yield, loss of inventory, or prevented planting occurs due to a natural disaster.
2014-09-26; vol. 79 # 187 - Friday, September 26, 2014 79 FR 57703 - Agriculture Risk Coverage and Price Loss Coverage Programs
GPO FDSys XML | Text Additional Documents DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Commodity Credit Corporation, Farm Service Agency Final rule. Effective date: September 26, 2014. First annual enrollment date: By June 1, 2015, for the 2014 and 2015 crop years. 7 CFR Part 718 Summary This rule implements the new Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) Programs authorized by the Agricultural Act of 2014 (the 2014 Farm Bill). It also includes conforming changes to certain Farm Service Agency (FSA) regulations that apply to multiple programs. ARC and PLC provide producers a choice between a program that provides counter-cyclical type of payment support—PLC, and a revenue support type of program—ARC. During a defined election period, current producers can elect different programs for different covered commodities on a farm, for example, choosing PLC for corn and ARC county option for soybeans on the same farm. ARC offers the additional choice of a revenue guarantee based on average revenue for a county or on actual historical revenue for an individual farm. If a producer elects ARC individual coverage based on historical revenue for that specific farm, however, all the farm's covered commodities are elected with that option, with no option for PLC on that farm. This rule specifies the eligibility requirements, enrollment procedures, and payment calculations for ARC and PLC.
