Working with Tim Kelleher, we have updated the decision tool that assists growers in calculating expected PLC and ARC payments. As previously noted, PLC target price for 2025 is $19.90. Here is a link to the updated tool.

Our previous story with additional background on the two programs can be found here. 

For those growers wishing to change their election, we strongly recommend that you get into the FSA office before the potential government shutdown on March 14. Your current PLC or ARC choice will roll forward into 2025 if you do not make any changes.

Contact Tim Johnson at tjohnson@calrice.org with any questions.
