The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service will conduct a seed cotton program sign-up Workshop August 16th, to help producers become familiar with the changes brought about through the recently reinstated government program.

Starting with the 2018 crop, producers of upland seed cotton will be able to participate in one of the two former ‘safety net’ programs introduced in 2014; Price Loss Coverage, or PLC, or Agricultural Risk Coverage, or ARC.”

The goal of this workshop is to educate producers on the three tasks needed to enroll each Farm Service Agency-registered farm into one of the programs.
“The three tasks will be to update program yields, allocate generic base acres and select one of the two safety net programs, ARC or PLC, in which to participate.”
