Here is the latest corn leafhopper update for Texas. The pest is not moving much yet but the next few weeks should tell us if they will build and start moving north. soundcloud.com/user-76636564…

Key Takeaways from Farmer Bridge Assistance Program as we know them: 1. Producers will receive a pre-filled application the week of February 23. 2. Producers with an average AGI exceeding $900,000 will be ineligible. 3. The per person payment limitation for FBA is $155,000. 4. The double payment limit for income that is 75% derived from farming (as seen with ECAP) does NOT apply to this program. See more frequently asked questions here: plainscotton.org/farmer-brid…
