Any questions? Pinion's FSA Farm Program advisors can help you evaluate what's right for your operation...

Connect with us: https://www.pinionglobal.com/services/farm-program-services/

FSA is strengthening the farm safety net thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts Act that adds up to 30 million new base acres nationwide. Starting June 1, landowners can update and increase base acres in preparation for enrollment in the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs for the 2026 and future crop years.

Landowners have until Aug. 31, 2026, to review and consider base acre increases on farms enrolled in ARC or PLC. https://www.fsa.usda.gov/news-events/news/05-26-2026/usda-announces-base-acre-increase-opportunity-agriculture-risk-price

Read the column for a practical look at how innovation in agriculture often happens in the field, not in a lab: https://okt.to/YOd8uT
