USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) reminds Virginia producers to complete crop acreage reports by the applicable deadline for their county. Acreage reporting dates vary by crop and by county. Contact your FSA county office for a list of acreage reporting deadlines by crop.

“To make sure you’re eligible for many USDA programs, you need to file an accurate crop acreage report by the applicable deadline,” said Nivin A. Elgohary, State Executive Director in Virginia. “Our FSA staff is standing by to help you with your acreage reports, including providing maps.”

The following acreage reporting dates are applicable in Virginia:

July 15: hay/pasture (acreage not enrolled in NAP), corn, cotton, cover crop, CRP, grain sorghum, peanuts, soybeans, tobacco vegetables (acreage not enrolled in NAP) and cover crops.

Due to the pandemic, FSA has implemented acreage reporting flexibilities. FSA can work with producers to file timely acreage reports by phone, email, online tools and virtual meetings.
