You can select the continuous certification option any time after the crop is certified. Perennial crops can include mixed forage, birdsfoot trefoil, chicory/radicchio, kochia (prostrata), lespedeza, perennial peanuts and perennial grass varieties. The perennial crop continuous certification process requires you to initially complete an acreage report certifying the perennial crop acreage. If you have perennial forage crops, you have the option to report your acreage once, without having to report that acreage in subsequent years, as long as there are no applicable changes on your farm.
