Federal disaster payments for areas that have
suffered severe crop losses have been around
for a long time. However, they have usually
been implemented on an ad hoc basis each time
widespread production problems arose. The new
farm bill changed this. The 2008 farm bill created an
Agricultural Disaster Trust Fund. A major part of this
fund will fi nance Supplemental Revenue Assistance
(SURE) payments, which are designed to supplement
the protection producers can purchase from
private crop insurance companies.

Farmers who signed up for the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) can change their crop priority by September
30. Crop priority determines which crop receives priority for ACRE payments. If corn is picked as the first priority and
soybeans the second priority, ACRE payments will be received on the maximum number of planted corn acres and
the remainder of eligible acres will be allocated to soybeans. Conversely, ACRE payments will be received on the
maximum number of soybean acres if soybeans are chosen as the first priority. The default is “no priority”, in which
case ACRE payments are received in proportion to planted acres.

With the recent price declines, farmers have become more interested in whether they
should sign up for the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program. And they are right to
be more interested. Farmers have until August 14, 2009, to elect and enroll their farms in either
the ACRE program or the Direct and Counter-cyclical Program (DCP) program for their 2009
crop.

The 2008 Farm Bill offers the opportunity for producers to participate in DCP (the traditional suite of programs including direct payments, counter-cyclical payments and marketing loans) or the new Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) suite of programs. If producers decide to participate in ACRE, they will opt out of the counter-cyclical program, reduce direct payments by 20 percent, and reduce marketing loan rates by 30 percent.

The ACRE Decision Aid is provided to assist farm operators and landlords in analyzing the ACRE vs. DCP decision. The 2008 farm bill offers farmers the option to continue receiving DP, CCP, and LDP/MLG payments (DCP), or receive average crop revenue election (ACRE) payments, with a 20% reduction in DP and a 30% reduction in loan rates for LDP/MLG. The decision to elect ACRE is irrevocable over the life of the farm bill. Signup is for each farm unit, so farmers do not have to elect ACRE or DCP for all farm units.

Starting with the 2009 crop year, the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program is
a new, optional safety net for farmers provided by Congress in the Food, Conservation, and
Energy Act of 2008 (commonly called the farm bill). The ACRE program is based on changes in
crop revenue. It is an alternative to the counter-cyclical (CC) program which is based only on
changes in crop prices.

A new, optional program in the 2008 Farm Bill is the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program. This program is a revenue counter-cyclical program that is designed to provide support to producers when crop revenue falls below the established revenue guarantee. Established as a program to replace the price counter-cyclical program, which only provides support when prices fall, ACRE is a new concept for commodity programs that offers the opportunity to provide support when yields are reduced as well.

The Supplemental Revenue Assistance Program (SURE) is funded by the Agriculture Disaster Relief
Trust Fund to provide crop disaster assistance payments to eligible producers on farms in disaster
counties that have incurred crop production losses (excluding grazing), crop quality losses, or both during
the crop year. Crop disaster payments to eligible producers will be made at 60 percent of the difference
between the disaster assistance program guarantee and the total farm revenue for the farm. The disaster
assistance program guarantee for a crop used to calculate the payments for a farm may not be greater
than 90 percent of the sum of the expected revenue for each of the crops for the farm.

The farm bill “safety net” under the 2002 Farm Bill consisted of Direct Payments (DP), Countercyclical
Payments (CCP) and the Marketing Loan. The Loan program provides a minimum price for the crop
(Loan Rate) and LDP or Loan Gain when the Loan Repayment Rate is less than the Loan Rate.
The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (the 2008 Farm Bill) allows producers a one-time
opportunity to select an alternative safety net for their farm. Rather than the DCP (Direct and
Countercyclical Payment) Program, producers may elect ACRE (Average Crop Revenue Election).

A fundamental change in commodity title programs in the 2008 Farm Bill resulted in the creation of the new Average Crop Revenue Election Program (ACRE). ACRE is a revenue-based support program that effectively acts as a put option on state-level revenue for each program crop. Starting with the 2009 crop year, producers of program crops will have the option of electing coverage under ACRE, or defaulting to support under the existing suite of commodity programs. This choice will be made on a FSA farm basis. The decision can be deferred to future crop years, but if a farm is elected into the ACRE program, the decision is irrevocable. Thus, once elected, the farm will be covered by ACRE throughout the life of the current Farm Bill which goes through the 2012 crop year.

The 2008 Farm Bill gives a choice on how Federal commodity payments can be
received. Payments can continue in the traditional manner through direct, marketing
loan, and counter-cyclical programs. Alternatively, an Average Crop Revenue Election
(ACRE) alternative can be selected. ACRE is a state revenue program for corn, soybeans, wheat, and other program
corps. ACRE payments are based on the difference between state revenue and a state
guarantee.

The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 modified many aspects of the previous
payment limitations provisions enacted in past Farm Bills. Producers will need to be
aware of these changes prior to initiating production or conservation program contracts
with the USDA-Farm Service Agency or USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service
in order to be in total compliance.
This document is essentially a condensation of USDA-FSA 4-PL Handbook which
provides the directions for the administration of the payment limitations provisions as
legislated in the Farm Bill. It is intended only to provide an abbreviated reference for
producers and interested individuals. Consulting the document itself as well as obtaining
professional guidance for interpretation and implementation of any farm operation
changes is strongly advised.
