Beginning in the 2016 RY, the RMA requires that 100% of total reported acres for Plans 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, & 06 be reported by CLU on or before the applicable Acreage Reporting Date (ARD).
In order to accommodate these reporting requirements, the RMA will begin allowing AIP's to submit geospatial data when there may be no legitimate Common Land Unit (CLU) geospatial data in Farm Service Agencies (FSA) database. This geospatial data will be referred to as a "Resource Land Unit", or "RLU", and will be treated the same as a CLU for the purposes of the reporting requirements. The System must be updated with functionality to associate an established RLU ID to a Land ID(s) for a particular Detail Line(s). The RLU grid within the user interface will be very similar to how a user manually enters a Planted Field/CLU.
