Crop Year 2026 Nursery Crop Reporting Requirements

May 7, 2025
By:

Donny Green, DeKalb-Cannon Co. Farm Service Agency County Executive Director, reminds local farmers and landowners of the importance of timely crop reporting. Participation in most USDA programs requires annual reporting of crops and land use and requires a report of all cropland on a farm, even though the land may not be used for annually-tilled row crops.

Field Grown and Ornamental Nursery crops have unique crop years. As a result, they also have unique crop reporting deadlines. Below are the crop year period and the acreage reporting deadline:

Nursery Crop Year 2026—-June 1, 2025 through May 31, 2026

2026 Nursery Crop Reporting Deadline (field grown and container)—May 31, 2025

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office at (615) 597-8225, Ext. 2.

The DeKalb County Republican Party met for their biennial Reorganization on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at Smithville City Hall. At the meeting, DeKalb County Republicans elected officers for the next two years. Chair Ryan Mollinet, Vice Chair Melissa Miller, and Secretary Clint Hall were all reelected to their positions. Vester Parsley was elected Treasurer and Kaylee Allen was elected as Vice Treasurer.

“It’s an honor to be reelected as Chair of the DeKalb County Republican Party,” said Mollinet. “Republicans have enjoyed tremendous success over the past few elections, most notably the massive margin of victory for President Trump in DeKalb County in 2024. We look forward to continuing to show that strong, responsible, conservative values are the values that DeKalb County citizens want in their elected officials.”

The 2026 Election Cycle will begin very shortly, with the County Primary Elections about a year away-May 2026, followed by the State and Federal Primary and County General Election in Aug. 2026.
