USDA Asks for Input to Improve Processes
August 26, 2011
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is soliciting ideas about how to improve processes by consolidating information collected through the Farm Service Agency, Risk Management Agency and other USDA agencies.
The department has asked for ideas about how to simplify and standardize acreage reporting processes, program dates and data definitions, as well as how to allow farmers to use their farm-management and precision-agriculture systems for reporting production, planted and harvested acreage and other information needed to participate.
Comments are due by Sept. 19. More information is available at www.usda.gov/open.
