UPCOMING WEBINAR
ARC and PLC 2026: Farm Program Details and Decisions
Oct. 15
Congress amended farm commodity programs through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in 2025, and producers are back to making an active Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) versus Price Loss Coverage (PLC) decision in 2026. With those changes and shifting price projections in play, this year's enrollment decision at the USDA Farm Service Agency deserves careful thought.
This webinar will cover farm program details and decisions for 2026, plus a look at what's ahead for farm bill development. It will include discussion on 2026 ARC/PLC program decisions and the economics behind the ARC v. PLC choice , as well as a look at the broader farm bill issues still ahead.
