The integration of GIS with farm records and acreage reporting will have implications across all systems in MIDAS. CLU/field level data will be included in the new Farm Records System, which is very similar in design to the existing Web-based farm records system. This integration will combine multiple business processes and systems into one, resulting in time savings and eliminating discrepancies when compared to the current manual process of updating and synchronizing the same data in two separate systems.
Employees can prepare now by ensuring CLU data is updated to avoid delays in the future. Ultimately, all inaccurate data will need to be resolved before accurate information can be provided to a producer with affected data. To avoid making a producer wait for service while inaccurate data is corrected, it is important that the CLU clean-up activities are completed now. For more information regarding GIS in the new MIDAS system, please review the GIS FAQs on the MIDAS website: https://askfsainternal.custhelp.com/app/answers/list/c/296. Note: you must be connected to the USDA network to access the GIS FAQs.
