I'm anxious to see how many sign ups we've had for the ACRE program. We had good turn outs for our meetings in Imperial and Ogallala this past week and I've really enjoyed getting feedback from producers.
You should consider signing up if:
-Your revenue trends match the state's revenue trends
-You don't rely on government payments and/or loans
That being said, those who have signed up still feel there are some grey areas:
-Productivity ratios?
-Producers in the future will sign up without knowing the national market price for that year
-Payments are a year out. Unless you are a cash operator, that's money that you are paying interest on. i.e. 5 - 7% reduction in payment.
We have some resources for those interested in learning more.
