<b>USDA EXTENDS ACREAGE REPORTING DEADLINE FOR FSA TO AUG. 2, 2013</b>

Risk Management Deadline Remains Unchanged

Farmers and landowners have an additional 18 calendar days to submit their annual report of acreage to their local FSA county office with the deadline extended from Monday, July 15, 2013, to Friday, Aug. 2, 2013. Only the FSA reporting deadline has been extended. The acreage reporting requirement for crop insurance has not changed and remains July 15.

Accurate acreage reports are necessary to determine and maintain eligibility for various programs, such as the Direct and Counter-cyclical Program (DCP); the Average Crop Revenue Election Program (ACRE); the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP); and the Non-insured Crop Disaster Assistant Program (NAP).

Acreage reports for FSA are considered timely this year when filed at the county office by the new applicable final crop reporting deadline of Aug. 2, 2013. Producers should contact their local FSA office if they are uncertain about reporting deadlines.

<b>2013 Anti-Racism Finalists</b>:

<a href="http://carywalski.com/npawards/mission-awards/mcn-mission-awards/2013-anti-racism-finalists/">http://carywalski.com/npawards/mission-awards/mcn-mission-awards/2013-anti-racism-finalists/</a>

Farmers’ Legal Action Group (FLAG) is a nonprofit law center that provides legal services to family farmers and their communities. In Minnesota, FLAG’s anti-racism work in agriculture has focused on the state’s community of Hmong American farmers, who despite their prominence in local markets continue to face discrimination and barriers that exclude them from economic opportunity. FLAG’s advocacy approach on behalf of Hmong American farmers combines FLAG’s legal skills, experience with community lawyering, and alternative dispute resolution that is healing, rather than divisive.

Its most recent success of this approach was last summer, when more than 30 immigrant and refugee farm families who had recently started growing vegetables on 110 leased acres in WashingtonCounty’s MayTownship faced a crisis. Their crops, set for sale at the region’s farmers’ markets, represented significant portions of their livelihoods. However, the Township Board had enacted an ordinance that imposed onerous restrictions and fees on vegetable farmers. The ordinance did not apply to neighboring farmers, who were decidedly not Asian, and Hmong American farmers were not contacted before the ordinance was passed.

With their growing season and incomes suddenly in jeopardy, the farmers called FLAG. Out in their fields, farmers were briefed on their rights and worked with FLAG to find a resolution to preserve their livelihoods. Speaking with members of the Township Board, FLAG arranged for additional pro bono counsel, initiated settlement discussions, and ultimately persuaded the Township Board not only to repeal the ordinance, but also to engage in a dialogue with the Hmong American farmers to increase the Township’s understanding of their lives and farm operations.

FLAG’s work over the last year in May Township preserved some $300,000 in income for the refugee and immigrant families, and secured the ability for the same families to farm that acreage again this year. With a mission to support healthy rural communities, protect the environment and promote a safe and stable food supply, FLAG has helped transform a silent and struggling farming community into important and productive community contributors.
