Direct Deposit Authorizations: FSA will be making DCP/ACRE and CRP payments in early October.  If you have changed your bank or bank account since last year it would be great if you would call us (796-4476 ext 2) to initiate a direct deposit change before the payments go out.   We will need a new direct deposit form and get a voided blank check to complete the change.
Marketing Assistance Loans: FSA still provides marketing assistance loans for up to nine months. The interest rate is only 1.125 percent and if you want to raise some short term cash without marketing your crop this is an option.
Supplemental Revenue Disaster Program (SURE). The SURE program was not extended past 2011. Even though both Sanborn and Jerauld received Secretarial primary disaster county designations in 2012 there is no SURE program for 2012.
