Texas A&M ACRE Decision Aid
The ACRE Decision Aid is provided to
assist farm operators and landlords in analyzing the ACRE vs. DCP decision. The
2008 farm bill offers farmers the option to continue receiving DP, CCP, and LDP/MLG
payments (DCP), or receive average crop revenue election (ACRE) payments, with a
20% reduction in DP and a 30% reduction in loan rates for LDP/MLG. The decision
to elect ACRE is irrevocable over the life of the farm bill. Signup is for each
farm unit, so farmers do not have to elect ACRE or DCP for all farm units.
