USDA Announces Change to Haying and Grazing Date for Cover Crops on Prevented Planting Acres
- On July 3, 2019
With the recent announcement by USDA of the move to September 1 for haying and grazing of a cover crop in prevent plant situations, there have been a lot of questions on what can be used as a cover crop.
Richard Flourney, deputy administrator of product management for USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA), recently provided information on the use of corn for sileage as a cover crop in prevent plant situations. Additional information is available on the USDA-RMA website.
ASTA has been providing detailed information to its members over the past several days as new information becomes available. If you have not been receiving these alerts, or if you have additional questions, please contact Jane DeMarchi.
