Dear CITY OF ELGIN:
On February 7, 2014,the President signed the Agricultural Act of 2014(the 2014 Farm Bill), which provides owners with
an option to reallocate base acres and update yields for"covered commodities".The reallocation of base acres and the
updating of counter-cyclical yields for covered commodities are in preparation for producers to enroll in the Price Loss
Coverage(PLC)and/or Agriculture Risk Coverage(ARC)programs authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill. Covered
commodities include barley,canola,large and small chickpeas,corn,crambe,flaxseed,grain sorghum, lentils, mustard
seed,oats,peanuts,dry peas,rapeseed,long grain rice, medium grain rice(includes short grain rice and temperate japonica
rice), safflower seed,sesame, soybeans, sunflower seed, and wheat.Note:Upland cotton is no longer a covered
commodity.
The attached Summary Acreage History Report shows the acreage of covered commodities reported to the Farm Service
Agency(FSA)for farm(s)in which FSA's records reflect that you are currently the owner and/or operator of the farm(s)
listed.For each covered commodity,the report shows the farm's 2014 base acres and counter-cyclical(CC)yields,and for
2008-2012 the planted acres,the acres prevented from being planted,and acres planted after failed or prevented acres
(called subsequent acres).
Please review the attached information and carefully examine the data for each crop,year, and farm.If you determine the
information is both complete and accurate,do not take any action at this time.
If you determine that any of the data is incorrect,incomplete,or missing,you must contact the county office where
the farm is administratively located to provide verifiable documentation of your acreage as soon as possible,but no
later than 60 days from the date of this letter.
Eby submission of this information will result in a timelier update of base and yield history.
Verifying the accuracy of a farm's acreage history is the initial step that is required to ensure the 2014 base acres of a
covered commodity are accurate for PLC and/or ARC program purposes.Verifiable documentation for previously
unreported and/or prevented planted acreage may include your crop insurance records,if applicable.All verifiable
documentation is subject to FSA County Committee review and approval.
Additional information will be provided to you in the near future for reallocating base acres,updating yields, and electing
and enrolling in PLC and/or ARC.
Sincerely,
6t111v../�f.• ...---

The city received the attached letter regarding the Summary Acreage History Report and it notes that we are the owner.
After reviewing our records, it would seem that we are not the owner of the property and the closest parcel associated
with the name Robert Gehrke is well outside the city limits.
