The spring planting season is underway and local U-S-D-A Farm Service Agency (FSA) offices are getting calls from farmers, asking if they need to sign up for the farm program before heading to the fields. The F-S-A County Executive Director for Dickinson and Emmet Counties, Larry Lago (la-GO), says he thinks he knows why he’s getting the calls.
Even though farmers don’t need to sign up for the farm program now, he says they still need to keep good records.
The state crop report released Monday said corn planting was just getting underway, but was expected to pick up speed this week with warmer temperatures.
