Enrollment is not the same as a purchase commitment or payment obligation. A farmer needs a named buyer, delivery path, formula, timing, funding source, and terms explaining when payment can be withheld.
What the final rule says
The final USDA rule under 7 CFR Part 2100 establishes technical guidelines for qualifying feedstock production. It does not require specific commercial products, software platforms, or enrollment programs as conditions of compliance. Program-specific requirements should be distinguished from USDA requirements.
What the official FD-CIC allows
The official calculator accepts defined inputs for crop, location, yield, moisture, nutrient sources, and eligible practices. A claim that a product or service affects the result must identify the exact input, record, or pathway involved.
What evidence would change the verdict
A signed contract and evidence of completed payments would materially change the assessment.
