Congress approves a new Farm Bill every five years. After a new Farm Bill is released, the Extension Ag Business Management (ABM) team hosts informational meetings around the state to educate farmers about key changes in the law.

The 2018 Farm Bill allowed farmers to make annual elections. ABM hosts yearly informational sessions to help crop producers understand new decisions regarding the 2018 Farm Bill reauthorization of ARC and PLC programs.

At this website https://extension.umn.edu/business/farm-bill  you will find materials and a recording of the January 2021 Farm Bill Decision presentation. You will also find county by county estimates for ARC-CO and PLC projected payments for the 2021 program year.
