ACRE/DCP Enrollment Deadlines Approaching The June 1, deadline for enrollment into the 2010 Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) Program or the traditional Direct and Counter-cyclical Program (DCP) is rapidly approaching. This deadline is mandatory for all participants and USDA will not accept any late-file applications. The majority of producers have yet to enroll in 2010 DCP or ACRE Programs. At the current rate of enrollment, a significant number of farms eligible for 2010 DCP/ACRE will not be enrolled by the June 1 deadline. Producers are encouraged to contact their local FSA office and make an appointment. Additional information about DCP/ACRE is available at local county offices or on line at: www.fsa.usda.gov.

Everyone is welcome to bring 2-potted perennial to exchange. Plants may also be purchased. Proceeds are used to maintain local community gardens. In addition, each year the Garden Club presents a Book Scholarship to a student from Mountain View and Forest City High School. Marcellus Shale Sessions Scheduled As development of Marcellus shale natural gas grows in Pennsylvania, businesspeople statewide are being invited to a series of seminars to learn how it may create opportunities for their businesses. Energy firms are flocking to the Commonwealth to extract natural gas from Marcellus, and are partnering with or purchasing from local businesses and entrepreneurs. The University of Scranton Small Business Development Center (SBDC) is hosting a “Your Business & Marcellus Shale: Building Business Connections” educational series at the County Office Building in Montrose to help entrepreneurs and established small- and medium sized businesses understand and respond to Marcellus shale-related business opportunities. The series will consist of six, twice-monthly early morning webinars, with sessions highlighting successful examples of how local businesses are responding, how to identify gas industry needs, and how to establish productive and ongoing relationships with natural gas companies. The series is co-sponsored by a consortium of universities, chambers of commerce, local planning commissions and regional economic development boards from across the Commonwealth, with leadership from Penn State Cooperative Extension. Presenters and panelists will include successful local businesses, natural gas industry representatives, and experts from Penn State. These trainings follow two successful series; the first series introduced business opportunities and the second profiled businesses and service companies on their experience working with the natural gas industry. Each series had over 500 local businesses participate at local sites within Pennsylvania, Maryland and New York. The six 90-minute sessions will meet on the first and third Wednesdays beginning at 8 a.m. on June 2, June 16, July 7, July 21, August 4, and August 18. Pre-registration and pre-payment are required. For more information about the series or to register, contact The University of Scranton SBDC at 570-941-7588 or see the “Your Business & Marcellus Shale: Voices of Experience” website, at http://www.economicdevelopment.psu.edu/marcellusbiz/. Senior Citizens Nutrition Program The Area Agency on Aging for the counties of Bradford, Sullivan, Susquehanna and Tioga is working with the PA Dept of Agriculture to administer the Senior Citizens Farmers Market Nutrition Program.

Each eligible senior will receive four/$5.00 voucher checks for a benefit total of $20.00 in food vouchers to use at approved WIC Farm Markets to purchase free fresh fruits and vegetables. Seniors must meet the income guidelines to participate in the program. The income guidelines will be available at the time of distribution. Seniors must be residents of Bradford, Sullivan, Susquehanna or Tioga Counties. Proof of age and residency is required at the time of sign-up (driver’s license, photo ID, etc).
