The U.S. Department of Agriculture reminds farmers that the 2014 Farm Bill requires producers to file a Highly Erodible Land Conservation and Wetland Conservation Certification form with their local USDA service center by June 1, 2015, in order to become or remain eligible for crop insurance premium support.  Most farmers already have a certification form on file since it’s required for participation in most USDA programs such as marketing assistance loans, farm storage facility loans and disaster assistance.  However farmers, such as specialty crop growers who receive federal crop insurance premium support, but may not participate in other USDA programs, also must now file a certification form to maintain their crop insurance premium support.  Producers should visit their local USDA service center and talk with their crop insurance agent before the June 1^st deadline to ask questions, get additional information or learn more about conservation compliance procedures.  Producers that file their form by the deadline will be eligible for federal crop insurance premium support during the 2016 reinsurance year, which begins July, 1, 2015.  USDA will publish a rule outlining the linkage of conservation compliance with federal crop insurance premium support.  The Highly Erodible Land Conservation and Wetland Conservation Certification form is available at local USDA service centers or online at www.fsa.usda.gov/AD1026form.
