The Direct and Counter-Cyclical Program (DCP) and the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) Program are being offered for the 2013 program year under the 2008 Farm Bill Extension.

The DCP/ACRE sign-up for 2013 began on Feb. 19, and the ACRE election and enrollment sign-up period will end June 3, while the DCP enrollment sign-up period will end Aug. 2.
