By Owen Anderson, County Executive Director for Jerauld and Sanborn counties.
Food Plots in CRP: CRP Participants with contracts that call for food plots must prepare the soil and plant annually as promised. Food plots can be left in the same place or moved around the CRP from year to year, BUT the new area must be reported when you report acres and the old area must be seeded to the approved CRP cover.
CRP Sign-up: Plans are in place for a general CRP sign-up from May 20 to June 14. Land not currently enrolled and CRP that expires this fall can be offered. New contracts will start Oct 1.
Honey: MAL and LDP reauthorized for 2013.
Receipt for Service: Form AD-2088 “Receipt of Request for Benefit or Service Offered by USDA”.  IF you request one, USDA must provide you with a receipt for any approved, denied, or requested services.
LAA Boundary Change Recommendation: If you wish to comment on the recommendations announced last week you need to submit them to the Sanborn/Jerauld FSA County Office in Woonsocket by March 27.
