LAA-5 John Guidry Jr | 2014 ACREAGE REPORTING DATES In order to comply with FSA program eligibility requirements, all producers are encouraged to visit the St Martin\Lafayette Parish FSA Office to file an accurate crop certification report. Spring seeded crops such as corn, soybeans, grain sorghum and sugarcane must be reported or certified by July 15, 2014.
The final RMA planting date for soybeans was June 15, 2014. Producers who intended to plant soybeans but were unable to due to adverse weather conditions have two weeks - June 16 through June 30 - to report the prevented acres on form CCC-576. Producers filing for prevented planting must complete form CCC-576 indicating the weather condition that affected them. They also must provide proof of intent to plant, such as seed, chemical and fertilizer receipts or loan documents covering all acres in question. These forms, with supporting documentation, will be submitted to the county committee for approval. Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) policy holders should note that the acreage reporting date for NAP covered crops is the earlier of the dates listed above or 15 calendar days before grazing or harvesting of the crop begins. Please call for an appointment. 2014 COC ELECTIONThe Farm Service Agency (FSA) County Committee election is now accepting nominations for the upcoming County committee election through August 1, 2014. Our Committees help deliver FSA farm programs at the local level. Their knowledge and experience in the farming area help with the decision making process needed in administering many of our programs. They provide local input on commodity crop loans and payments, conservation programs, incentive, indemnity and disaster programs for some commodities and emergency programs. Information about the elections and other available programs can be found on the internet at http://www.fsa.usda.gov/elections. This year, our election is being held in LAA 3 for St. Martin and LAA 4 for Lafayette, which are both areas of the parish located north of I-10. A map of these areas, the COC Nomination Forms, and notifications regarding the COC elections are available at the St. Martin\Lafayette Parish FSA Office. To become a nominee, eligible individuals must sign a FSA-669A form and submit it to the St. Martin\Lafayette USDA Service Center by August 1, 2014. Ballots will be mailed to eligible voters on November 3, 2014. December 1, 2014 is the last day to return voted ballots to the St. Martin\Lafayette USDA Service Center. NOMINATE and VOTE!!!
