We are excited to celebrate the 3-year work anniversary of one of our Client Advocates, Felisha Smith!

As a Remote Processor, Felisha plays an important role in supporting our customers and helping ensure smooth operations for farmers and ranchers across the agricultural community.

A devoted wife and mom, Felisha enjoys spending time with her family, reading, and riding horses and dirtbikes. Her passion for agriculture and rural communities shines through in her work every day.

When asked what she enjoys most about working here, Felisha says, "I enjoy being part of an amazing team that works together to support farmers and ranchers. Knowing that the work we do helps strengthen the agricultural communities we serve makes every day meaningful.”

Thank you for all you do, Felisha! 😁

This is an email I received from FSA on updating allocated base acres. Please read this then follow up with your reporting FSA agency to confirm.

Landowners - Review Your Base Allocation Summary by Aug. 31
On July 4, 2025, the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, was signed into law authorizing the continuation of the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs for the 2026 through 2031 crop years and provides landowners with the opportunity to increase base acres used to calculate payments under ARC and/or PLC beginning with the 2026 crop year. An additional 30 million base acres are available nationwide for allocation based on a farm’s 2019-2023 planting history. Covered commodities include barley, canola, large and small chickpeas, corn, crambe, flaxseed, grain sorghum, lentils, mustard seed, oats, peanuts, dry peas, rapeseed, long grain rice, medium grain rice (includes short grain rice and temperate japonica rice), safflower seed, cotton (upland cotton), sesame, soybeans, sunflower seed, and wheat.

If you are in receipt of this email, according to FSA records, you have been identified as a landowner and should review your Base Allocation Summary.

If you have a Login.gov account, you can review your Base Allocation Summary online by visiting fsa.usda.gov/arc-plc.
If you do not have a Login.gov account, please contact your local FSA office to obtain your Base Allocation Summary.
The Base Allocation Summary should be reviewed and any necessary actions completed by Monday, Aug. 31, 2026.

For each covered commodity, the report provides the farm’s reported acres by covered commodity for any planted, prevented planted, failed, double crop, and subsequent acres (acres planted after an initial commodity) for 2019-2023. For non-covered commodities, the total number of acres are listed for each year 2019-2023. This information also provides a determination of your farm(s) eligibility to receive an additional allocation of base acres and maximum number of acres you are eligible for under the base allocation process. If the total amount of additional base acre allocations nationwide exceeds the 30-million-acre cap, a pro rata reduction will be applied.

Please review your Base Allocation Summary and carefully examine the data for each crop, year, and farm. Please contact your local FSA office if:

Acreage history data is incorrect or missing
There are “subsequent acres” listed and you would like to choose the subsequent acreage for base allocation, or
If you elect to opt out of receiving any additional base acres
Landowners have until Aug. 31, 2026, to take any necessary actions listed above or appeal the accuracy of information contained in the Base Allocation Summary to the FSA County Committee by filing a written request.

If FSA is not notified, the Base Allocation Summary will be considered accurate and complete. All acreage reported as eligible in the summary will be used to determine the new base allocation percentage, and new base acres will automatically be allocated to the farm(s) with the designated percentage for each farm(s). Farms will maintain current base acres; however, eligible farms may increase base through the base allocation process. After the base allocation process is completed, election and enrollment for ARC and/or PLC will be announced for program year 2026. Every farm must make a new program election for 2026 to be eligible for a payment. FSA will announce details pertaining to the 2026 program year election and enrollment period at a later date.

If you have additional questions or would like to take action on an item listed above, please contact your local county office. To find your nearest service center please visit fsa.usda.gov/state-offices.

Happy 1 Year Anniversary to our Client Advocate, Ashton Mullins! 🥳

Ashton spends her workdays as a Client Advocate, helping clients navigate challenges and ensuring they feel supported every step of the way. What truly keeps her engaged is the people—the supportive team, the positive culture, and the knowledge that the work being done genuinely matters.

Outside of work, she prefers to recharge outdoors—upland hunting with her dogs, trapping, or just enjoying time outdoors. It provides the perfect balance to the workweek, and she appreciates being part of a company that recognizes life beyond the office is important too. She’s looking forward to what the next year brings.

USDA Issues Second Supplemental Disaster Payment to Farmers, Extends Program Application Deadline to August 12
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)is maximizing disaster assistance support for producers by issuing a second Supplemental Disaster Relief Program (SDRP) payment to eligible producers who have approved program applications for losses due to natural disasters in calendar years 2023 and 2024.

USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) has already provided $6.7 billion in SDRP payments to eligible producers. Additionally, USDA is extending the program deadline to give producers and FSA more time to address any program application changes that could impact payments. The original April 30 deadline has been extended to Aug. 12, 2026, for SDRP Stage 1 and Stage 2.

Initial SDRP payments were factored at 35%, but after further analysis, USDA is increasing the payment factor to 70%, meaning producers with approved applications will receive an additional 35% of their calculated SDRP payment. Future SDRP payments will also be made using a 70% payment factor.

SDRP Stage 1

The first stage, announced in July 2025, remains available to producers who received an indemnity under crop insurance or the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) for eligible crop losses due to qualifying 2023 and 2024 natural disaster events.

SDRP Stage 2

Stage 2 of SDRP covers eligible crop, tree, bush and vine losses that were not covered under Stage One program provisions, including non-indemnified (shallow loss), uncovered and quality losses.

Eligibility

Eligible losses must be the result of natural disasters occurring in calendar years 2023 and/or 2024. These disasters include wildfires, hurricanes, floods, derechos, excessive heat, tornadoes, winter storms, freeze (including a polar vortex), smoke exposure, excessive moisture, qualifying drought, and related conditions.

To qualify for drought related losses, the loss must have occurred in a county rated by the U.S. Drought Monitor as having a D2 (severe drought) for eight consecutive weeks, D3 (extreme drought), or greater intensity level during the applicable calendar year.

FSA is establishing block grants with Connecticut, Hawaii, Maine, and Massachusetts that cover crop losses; therefore, producers with losses on land physically located in these states are not eligible for SDRP program payments.

For more information on SDRP, please visit fsa.usda.gov/sdrp.
