ARC-CO barley payments changed for Cheyenne County

Farm Service Agency County Executive Director Brad Fraass announced a change Monday for the Agriculture Risk Coverage-County program for barley in Cheyenne County.

The Deputy Administrator for Farm Programs authorized the Nebraska FSA State Committee to determine Cheyenne County eligible for a separate calculation of revenues by irrigated and nonirrigated practice for purposes of calculating payments under the ARC-CO program. Prior to this change, blended yields and revenues would have been used to determine whether a loss occurred in Cheyenne County for barley in the ARC-CO program.
