1. The Fact
USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) says it is delivering approximately $594 million in farm safety net and conservation program payments to Ohio farmers, producers and landowners. The release refers to Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) payments for the 2025 crop year and Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) annual payments for 2026, and it does not state how the $594 million divides between them. For the 2025 crop year, it lists barley, canola, corn, grain sorghum, oats, peas, soybeans, sunflower seed, and wheat as the Ohio crops that triggered an ARC or PLC payment, and it says ARC and PLC payments are subject to a $160,000 payment limit and a 5.7% sequestration rate required by statute.
2. Key Dates
Dec. 11, 2026: last day for 2026 crop year ARC and PLC election and enrollment.
Nov. 2, 2026 to March 15, 2027: ARC and PLC election and enrollment period for the 2027 crop year.
The Ohio FSA state page also lists other program deadlines for November and December.
3. What You Can Do
The release says producers with questions about ARC or PLC enrollment or 2025 crop year payments should contact their local FSA county office. It says the same for questions about CRP and 2026 annual rental payments. Office locator: https://www.fsa.usda.gov/fsa-office-locator
