Producers must enroll in ARC/PLC for the 2021 crop year through their local Farm Service Agency office. Producers can amend the program elections they made for the 2019 and 2020 crop years for the 2021 crop year.
The signup period for the 2021 crop year is open now, and the deadline to enroll and make amendments to program elections is March 15, 2021.

Her entire announcement is on the school website.
"The governor’s office released a list of schools who should be able to get vaccines each week, with a goal of all educators in the 1B group to have their first shots by March 1," she said.
The state also assigns approved providers to work with schools to vaccinate its employees.
