So now we wait for the acceptance or the dear john letter. How many points will it take this time is the big question and do I have enough to get in?
I'm told that we should know by the middle of Sept.
Landman, what did you offer?
"general CRP acceptance results are announced today at 10:15" (from a fly on the wall)
The bad news comes when you look at the state by state totals.
Texas, Kansas, Colorado and Oklahoma "won the lottery" with around 2.5M acres between them.
SD came in at 125K acres, a disappointment in my opionion as there are 145K acres going out in 2 weeks. Now with that in mind I think SD can break even or come out ahead in FY 11 with continous sign up taking up the slack (CREP, Duck Nesting, FWP and possibly additional SAFE??).
ND was a bigger disappointment at 151K acres with 257K going out in 2 weeks. Continuous will not take up the slack here.
Iowa and Nebraska will come out a little ahead (10K - 30K acres) after 2010 expirations.
My home state of Missouri came in at 107K, another disappointment as I do not believe we will be able to make up the 23K defecit thru continuous sign up here..hope I am wrong.
Was really hoping for 500K between N & S Dakota....ended up with 275K.
Safari -
Could you post a link for this information. I've poked around on USDA website a little but have not come across it yet.
Thanks

It was a report that was e-mailed from a credible source. What state(s) are you intersted in?
I can give you the following information for each state:
# Offers accepted
% Offers accepted
Acres
EBI (Avg)
Rental Rate (Avg)
Here are the numbers - FSA website

I would like to see it by county. I would bet not many of the offers were from eastern SD.
