A joint program between Navarro and Ellis Counties will be offered to educate producers on the new ACRE program and to show them the recently developed ACRE decision aid tool. According to a recent TAMU AgNewsarticle, “The tool will help producers in deciding whether to continue receiving counter-cyclical payments (CCP) triggered during times of low prices, or opt for a revenue-based payment known as Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) triggered by low prices and/or yields.” Dr. Joe Outlaw with the Texas A&M; Agricultural and Food Policy Center will be present to present information on the new tool and answer questions. The program will be held on Tuesday, May 19 at the KJT Hall in Ennis at 1216 South Paris Street from 10 a.m. to noon. Lunch will be provided and cost is $5 per person to cover the costs of the facilities and lunch. Please RSVP prior to May 15 at (903) 654-3075 or (972) 825-5175.
