Producers will need to complete items 1-4 of this form, and sign and date 5a-5c on the first page prior to losing beneficial interest in their wool. Once they lose beneficial interest, the producer will complete page 4 Part M, N and sign and date Part P 83A & 85; FSA will need a copy of the receipt showing how many lbs. of wool sold, and head count total.
If your farm has never been to the FSA, you will also need to complete an AD-2047 form.
If you can't make it on August 13, please contact your local County Livestock Extension Agent to see if you can coordinate drop-off with someone else, or contact April Bowman, or 336-593-8179.
