The final Farm Bill Crop Commodity Update Meeting will be held on Monday, January 13th from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at UW-Fond du Lac in Rm. 113/114 University Center.  From a crop commodity standpoint, there are three programs that are of primary interest:  Loan Deficiency / Marketing Loan Program, Direct Payment Program, and the Counter Cyclical Payment Program.  Along with each program, is a set of rules and requirements related to actual production, base yields, and/or base acres.  Gary Terlinden, Fond du Lac County FSA Director, will present pertinent information related to each program and answer questions.  We will also walk through some examples of how each program operates.
