FSA Crop Acreage Report Deadline Approaching for Farmers

WASHINGTON, DC – Agricultural producers who have not yet completed their crop acreage reports after spring planting should make an appointment with their local Farm Service Agency (FSA) office before the July 15th deadline.
Due to the pandemic, FSA has implemented acreage reporting flexibilities and can work with producers to file timely acreage reports by phone, email, online and virtual meetings. Some FSA offices are open for in-person appointments, but you must call first to make an appointment. County offices can provide producers with maps along with instructions for completing and returning the maps through either mail, email, or through commercially available free and secure online tools.
After planting is complete, producers should return completed maps and the acreage reporting sheet by the applicable deadline. After completed maps and all acreage reporting information is received, FSA will make software updates and send producers the completed Report of Acreage form (FSA-578) to sign.
