The staff at FSA offices across the nation have been back in action taking applications and issuing payments. Because of the furlough, national headquarters has extended some deadlines we want to make you aware of:

February 14–final date to opt-in on the Market Facilitation Program (MFP)
February 18-Office Closed for President’s Day
February 28-final date to enroll in the 2018 Livestock Forage Program (LFP)

Please note that you must “opt-in” to the MFP by the new revised deadline of 2/14/18, even if your harvest is not complete. Producers who are not completed with harvest will have until 5/1/2019 to certify their 2018 production. Please be aware of the need of landowners to apply for their share of the 2018 production. The deadlines are the same for them and we don’t want anyone to miss getting their payment on this program.

Please contact your local FSA office if you have any questions.
