Eligibility
Forage acres seeded between October 15, and June 20, are eligible for the establishment benefit option. Crops seeded during this time and germinating in the spring should be established and ready for harvest the following year. Acres grazed the year of seeding are not eligible for coverage. Any adjustments for establishment losses will not be made until the following year. These acres must be reported on your Seeded Acreage Report by June 25, of this year.
Native Forage Establishment
Establishment protection is available for newly seeded native forages. Only spring-seeded acres planted by June 20 are eligible for the establishment benefit. Applicants will complete a questionnaire regarding a number of agronomic requirements to follow in order to be eligible for full coverage.
