USDA opens 2026 ARC and PLC enrollment through December 11
Eligible Lincoln County producers can review farm safety-net elections and enroll for 2026; the 2027 window opens November 2.
Eligible Lincoln County agricultural producers can now review their Agriculture Risk Coverage and Price Loss Coverage choices for the 2026 crop year. USDA says the election and enrollment window runs September 16 through December 11, 2026.
Changing an election is optional, but enrollment requires a signed contract. Previous multi-year contracts ended in 2025; USDA offers a new 2026–2031 multi-year option.
The separate 2027 enrollment window runs November 2, 2026, through March 15, 2027. Producers should ask FSA how their farm's base acres, covered commodities and share interests affect eligibility. These programs do not automatically cover every local farm or every crop.
Use USDA's ARC/PLC page or arrange an appointment with the local FSA office. Ask about crop-insurance interactions before choosing coverage. This is general program information, not an eligibility determination or promise of payment.
