Iowa farmers encouraged to keep in contact with FSA

December 15, 2020 IARN  A new year is on the horizon and farmers in Iowa are encouraged to check in with their local Farm Service Agency office. Lynette Gruchow is FSA executive director in Pottawattamie County. She says farmers need to be updating their local office about any changes to their operation over the past year. “Changes that may affect the determination include a change in contract share, the addition or deletion of a farm, change in the structure of your farming operation like an individual becoming a corporation or a trust, changes in your contributions or inputs, changes in farming interests or the death of the member of an entity,” said Gruchow. “Also, please let us know of any operator changes or buying or selling of land that you’ve done for the 2020 crop year, so that we can get these updates completed as well.”

Stack conservation revenue with credits

Holly Spangler BUYING CREDITS: ADM is buying carbon credits from Illinois farmers as part of a 2021 pilot project from Ecosystem Services Market Consortium. The program will have a full launch in 2022, impacting more than 10,000 Illinois acres. An Illinois pilot project plans to pay farmers for both improving water quality and storing carbon. Growing soil organic carbon with cover crops and conservation tillage pays in more ways than just improved soil health, says Broadlands, Ill., farmer Joe Rothermel. He’s using both practices on his farm and earning an annual paycheck for his efforts. Rothermel is one of 12 Illinois landowners earning income from storing carbon in a 2021 pilot program from the Ecosystem Services Market Consortium. He hopes to make $10 to 15 an acre following the 2021 growing season, but prices could fluctuate above or below that. ESMC doesn’t set a price, relying on price discovery on the open market instead.
