Comparison Fact Sheet Between ERP Phase 2 and PARP
The USDA has released a fact sheet that shows the differences between ERP Phase 2 and PARP.

The fact sheet on ERP Phase 2 originally was not clear on whether livestock sales were included or not. They indicated livestock sales not included however, the specifically listed certain sales of livestock.
Since they listed specific sales, the assumption is that regular livestock sales would be included. If this new fact sheet comparison is correct, then all livestock sales are not included in ERP Phase 2.

FSA could have clarified this on the original ERP Phase 2 fact sheet by indicating all livestock sales are excluded including the following. But that was not the case.
Also, ERP Phase 2 does not allow sales of crops for grazing. We are asking for clarification on this since this could be a very broad definition. We will keep you posted.
