Flow Chart of Government Programs has been updated on 9/7/03

  Below is an updated flow chart of the new Farm Bill that was provided to the KSU Web site as a courtesy of Iowa State Savings Bank, Knoxville , Iowa . Member FDIC.  Thanks to this ag lender for allowing me to share it with you.  I thought it might be useful for organizing your records before going to the FSA office.

Growers will still need a computer program to analyze the new farm bill.  Brad Lubben and Troy Dumler, KSU Ag Economists have developed an Excel Spreadsheet to help farmers make the many necessary decisions for the new farm commodity programs.  The current program and future updates will be posted at:  www.agmanager.info/policy
