The USDA and other agricultural groups want everyone to understand the new ACRE program before producers decide if they qualify or not.
The Wisconsin Corn Growers Association has scheduled three meetings next week to help farmers understand exactly what the program is, how it will benefit producers and the qualifications. The meetings will be held with Iowa State University Ag Economist Chad Hart.
The meetings are being held at the following times and locations:
** Johnstown Community Center, County Rd A, east of Janesville, 8:00-10:30 a.m.
** Arlington UW-Station, N695 Hopkins Rd, Arlington, 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
** Rosendale Community Center, Hwy. 23 west, 3:00-5:00 p.m.
