Virtual Information Session

The Litchfield/Fairfield County Farm Service Agency (FSA) will be hosting an informational session, entitled “ARC/PLC Enrollment 2022” on Tuesday, February 22, 2022 at 12 NOON. 

Producers who operate or own farms with base acres, and those interested in learning more about the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs are encouraged to attend.  Subjects will include a general overview of the programs, a discussion of factors related to maintaining eligibility, and information on how to enroll. If you’re not sure if this program applies to you, please call the office at 860-626-8852.

The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (2018 Farm Bill) reauthorized the ARC and PLC programs with modifications for the 2019 through 2023 crop years. The ARC Program is an income support program that provides payments when actual crop revenue declines below a specified guarantee level. The PLC Program provides income support payments when the effective price for a covered commodity falls below its effective reference price.

There are 22 covered commodities: wheat, oats, barley, corn, grain sorghum, long grain rice, medium/short grain rice, temperate japonica rice, seed cotton, dry peas, lentils, large and small chickpeas, soybeans, peanuts, sunflower seed, canola, flaxseed, mustard seed, rapeseed, safflower, crambe, and sesame seed.

To sign up for the ARC/PLC Enrollment 2022 information session, please contact the Litchfield/Fairfield County Farm Service Agency at 860-626-8852 or email aimee.fusco@usda.gov
