Gov shutdown, USDA, farm bill, CRP

Going to be a critical time for conservation. Feels like we are a long way from a new farm bill or at least I haven't heard much about it.

Local USDA offices have been vacated so I doubt CRP payments are being processed.

Interesting times

FSA offices are closed for now. No payments until Gov opens back up unless something changes.

Figured that was the case. Whats interesting to me is CRP is a contract. Not paying a contract on time is a breach. Im sure there are people out there that count on CRP to make their farm payment. Not hard to imagine the legal ramifications of that.

Anyway.... more interested in a new farm bill. Our government is incredibly inefficient.
 
CRP hasn’t been paid on time in my case for 4+ years. The clause in contract is they are required to “pay interest” after October 1. Interesting fact…. The interest they pay when they are late is wildly less than the interest a guy is charged if they owe $ to government for past due taxes or anything like that ;).

Shut down the government because illegals need $ for healthcare. It’s almost as if we have an extreme wing of a party that speaks up far more for illegals, criminals, etc than citizens & law abiding working folks of this country. That sect of that party is going to complete ruin the D’s if they don’t get control of those maniacs that will implode the left or the country if they got their way.

Talked to my very helpful gal at FSA on Monday and she confirmed they will not be on time but i doubt they would have been on time anyway.
