The Big Sandy Mountaineer -

The Chouteau County FSA office is currently accepting 2016-crop fall acreage reports. Farm operators are asked to stop by the local FSA office as soon as possible to pick up their acreage reporting packets (maps, worksheets, instructions). Producers that wish to have their map sets emailed to them, rather than pick them up in person, may send an email request to JESSICA.L.ANDERSON@MT.USDA.GOV. In an email request, producers must identify the names of the producers or entities for which map sets are needed. Map sets will be mailed, upon request, to producers that live outside of Chouteau County. Map set will not be mailed to producers residing in Chouteau County. Producers are REQUIRED to report winter wheat, grazing acreage, perennial hay land, and other fall-seeded crops by no later than November 15th. FSA asks that producers stop by to pick up their maps, or make an email request by no later than November 2nd. Failure to file a complete report of these crops to FSA by November 15th will result in the assessment of late-file fees.
