Deadline for application and
payment of certified wheat acres extended to May 15
Certified seed producers will now have two extra weeks to decide
whether to certify their wheat acres for the 2007 season. The
annual deadline for application and payment of summer-inspected
crops is May 1, but this year the deadline has been extended to
May 15 in order to give producers more time to evaluate the
effects of the recent freeze on their crop.
“We don’t want uncertainty over the freeze to result in
producers deciding to drop acres and then later finding out that
the wheat is still viable,” said Daryl Strouts, executive
director of the Kansas Crop
Improvement Association. “The extra two weeks may give
producers the answers they need in deciding whether to certify.”
Producers who were fortunate enough to have escaped freeze
damage on their wheat are asked to submit their applications and
payment by May 1. This will help the Kansas Crop Improvement
Association process the forms as quickly as possible in order to
avoid delays in the field.
