As many of you likely know, the 2014 Farm Bill requires farmers to file a Highly Erodible Land Conservation and Wetland Conservation Certification form (AD-1026) by June 1 to become or remain eligible for crop insurance premium support.

If you already participate in USDA programs, such as marketing assistance loans, disaster programs, or the like, you more than likely already have the form on file.  However, it doesn’t hurt to ensure that the form is on file at your local USDA center or check in with your crop insurance agent if you have additional questions.
