Farm Bill Meeting – Deaf Smith County

11/03/2014 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

A second farm bill education meeting has been set in Deaf Smith County for Nov. 3 at the Hereford Community Center, 100 Ave. C, in Hereford. The meeting will be conducted by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and is cosponsered by the Texas Corn Producers, Texas Sorghum Producers, Texas Wheat Producers and the Plains Cotton Growers Associations.

The meeting will include FSA staff discussing farm bill provisions, sign-up requirements and deadlines. Farm program analysis will also be discussed by DeDe Jones or Steve Amosson, AgriLife Extension specialists. A demonstration of the online decision aid tool, developed by the Agricultural Food and Policy Center at Texas A&M University, will be performed using examples of producers who have already been through the decision aid.

The meeting is free and is from 10:00 a.m. – noon. An optional afternoon session will also be offered for producers wanting assistance in entering their data into the decision aid tool.

Those interested in the one-on-one assistance after lunch are asked to bring the following information (assistance in entering the data into the decision aid tool can not be performed without this information):

  • FSA Reported Commodity Crop History Summary
  • FSA 156 EZ Form (for those with cotton base only; not all producers will have this)
  • 2014 Schedule of Insurance for all crops
  • 2008-2012 Insurance APH History for all crops

For additional information, please contact Deaf Smith County Extension Agent, Rick Auckerman at r-auckerman@tamu.edu.
