What do I need to apply?
The application requires Farm Service Agency records. Please contact your local FSA office to get the following documents:
- Farm map(s) showing the farm numbers, tracts, and fields you wish to enroll in the Alliance
- Current federal fiscal year Subsidiary Print
You will also need to submit a W-9 tax form, for the individual or entity applying.
If I have already enrolled in the Alliance, can I enroll again?
Producers who have enrolled once before are still eligible. Producers who have previously enrolled twice are not eligible for this round.
If I decide the Pasture Renovation Subpilot is too much, can I switch to the General Program, or do I need to choose before I apply?
You must choose either the General Program or the Pasture Renovation Subpilot before submitting your application. Only one application will be considered.
How long does it typically take to get current FSA farm maps and a Subsidiary Print if I need to request them?
It varies from county to county based on the capacity of local service center. Many offices require you to make an appointment before coming in to request those documents. It also depends on if you have an existing account with them on record or if you need to establish operator status for the land you wish to enroll, etc.
You can view sample documents below to ensure the documents you receive meet the eligibility criteria for the Alliance.
Are Virginia Tech or Virginia State University employees eligible?
Absolutely! As long as you meet the program eligibility, you are welcome to apply.
