Lexington, KY- July 11, 2012 - The USDA's Farm Service Agency is reminding producers that deadlines are approaching for various assistance programs.

The annual crop certification deadline is July 16, by which producers must file accurate reports for all crops and land uses, including failed acreage and prevented planting to ensure they receive the maximum FSA program benefits possible.

Acreage reports on crops covered by Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program should be filed with a county office either by July 16 or no later than 15 calendar days before the onset of harvest or grazing of the acreage being reported.

For additional information and other important dates, contact your local FSA office.
