Video: 2018 Farm Bill Details and Decisions

Resources for producers choosing between Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) by March 15 deadline

In late 2019 and early 2020, Nebraska Extension and the USDA Farm Service Agency in Nebraska collaborated to host a series of nearly 40 farm bill educational meetings to assist producers as they make farm bill-related program decisions. The 2018 farm bill, signed into law in December of that year, reauthorized the existing Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) safety net programs that were in the 2014 Farm Bill, however producers will need to make new program enrollment decisions by the March 15 deadline.

The presentation delivered at these meetings across the state is available here, as a full-length video and as smaller segments, broken out by topic.

This recorded presentation was led by Brad Lubben, extension policy specialist and associate professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and Cathy Anderson, chief specialist of production and compliance programs with the USDA Farm Service Agency in Nebraska.
