In early 2013, Congress passed and the President signed a 1-year extension of the 2008 Farm Bill. This extension reauthorized existing farm programs for another year through September 2013. While the debate will begin again on a new farm bill, producers are making decisions for 2013 on how to manage and enroll in current programs. This includes a new decision for all producers on whether to sign up for ACRE or DCP for the 2013 crop year.
