Most of you have probably had other things on your mind than whether to sign up for the Average Crop Revenue Election or ACRE program this year but if you've held off the past couple of years and are considering it this year, the deadline to sign up is June 1. If you're not familiar with them, I want to encourage you to look at the FAST Tools available through the University of Illinois. These are downloadable spreadsheets covering a wide range of topics where you load the Excel template to your computer and enter your data. They have a couple of ACRE Tools on the site. Texas A&M also has information and a calculator at their site. You can find additional information at the National FSA ACRE/DCP site.
Cory Walters and Greg Halich, University of Kentucky Ag Economists, have posted an ACRE article. This is for Kentucky so some of the specifics will be different but it makes a nice review of the program.
