ACRE Decision Aid Program Ready for Use
Texas A&M University's Agricultural and Food Policy Center has developed a web-based decision aid to assist producers in comparing the old CCP program to the new ACRE program. ACRE stands for Average Crop Revenue Election and is an option under the new farm bill. Producers will be faced with a decision to choose one option or the other. According to a recent TAMU AgNews article, "The tool will help producers in deciding whether to continue receiving counter-cyclical payments (CCP) triggered during times of low prices, or opt for a revenue-based payment known as Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) triggered by low prices and/or yields".

TTU Computer Program to Compare ACRE and CCP Effect on Texas Cotton
Texas Tech University's Cotton Economics Research Institute (CERI)has developed a computer calculator that compares the ACRE program to the historical payments from Counter-Cyclical Payments for cotton. According to the Volume 11. No. 2 Edition of the CERI Newsletter, "The website based calculator allows Texas row crop producers to enter their own individual farm data and compare their historical outcomes under the existing counter-cyclical payment (CCP) program and the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program alternative. The results of calculations are based on historical data and are not projections of future outcomes". This tool should be extremely handy for cotton producers who will be trying to make a decision about going into the new ACRE program or remaining in the CCP.
