The sign up period for the Cotton Transition Assistance Program ends October 7, 2014. Producers and landowners with a FSA cotton base are eligible to sign up and receive a payment. This program is paid on the base acres and not on planted acres. The payment rate is 9 cents per pound of payment yield on 60% of the cotton base or in other words 5.4 cents on 100% of the cotton base. Due to the Budget Control Act of 2011 this will be reduced to 5.01 cents . For more information and to make an appointment to sign up contact your local Farm Service Agency (FSA) office. For more information, please read the news release
We have put out two strip trials in the past week and will be putting out several more in the weeks to come. For those interested in taking a look at how a few of these products are working now, I wanted to pass along coordinates and treatment descriptions. I will be updating this post as more trials go out.
