RMA Announces Additional One-time Changes to Prevented Planting Provisions
for 2019 Crop Year
for 2019 Crop Year

PRO-DAIRY specialists Joe Lawrence and Karl Czymmek and Dr. Quirine Ketterings, Professor and Director of Cornell Nutrient Management Spear Program have released a letter stating "Corn on Prevented Planting acres meets these objectives."
