Farming
Interests

List all affiliated persons with farming interests (as owner, operator,
or other producer on any farm). Only affiliated persons with farming
interests are required to complete AD-1026. See number 7 of AD1026 appendix to determine affiliated persons.
Check box:
“A” if you, or any affiliated person, does not have an interest
in land devoted to agriculture. Examples include bee keepers
who place their hives on another person’s land, producers of
crops grown in greenhouses, and producers of aquaculture
and these producers do not own/lease any agriculture land
themselves.
Note: Do not check this box if you share in a crop.
“B” if you, or any affiliated person, does not participate in any
USDA program that is subject to HELC and WC compliance
except Federal Crop Insurance, and only has interest in land
devoted to agriculture which is exclusively used for perennial
crops, except sugarcane, and has not converted a wetland after
February 7, 2014.
Note: All 3 conditions must exist to check this box.
Perennial crops include, but are not limited to, tree fruit, tree nuts,
grapes, olives, native pasture and perennial forage. A producer that
produces alfalfa should contact the Natural Resources Conservation
Service at the nearest USDA Service Center to determine whether
such production qualifies as production of a perennial crop. A crop
list for compliance purposes is located at
www.nrcs.usda.gov/compliance.

If either box “A” or box “B” is checked, go to Part D, read and
