Agriculture Financial Services Corp. is adjusting the low yield allowance for 2023 to encourage farmers to put more poor-quality crops toward livestock feed in dry areas.
For 2023, AFSC is doubling the low yield threshold to allow for additional cereal or pulse crops to be salvaged for livestock feed. For example, the barley crop threshold will be increased from 150 to 300 kilograms per acre.
This adjustment enables producers to act swiftly to salvage crops for livestock feed rather than watch fields deteriorate further and risk harvesting nothing.
