Brewer Again Heads
County ASC Committee
E. G. Brewer of the Cedar
Rock Community was reelect
ed as Chairman of the County
ASC Committee In the conven
tion held here last Friday.
-6 Elected to serve with Brewer
were: C. C. Perry, Vlce
Chalrman, Sandy Creek Com
munity, and B. T. Bunn, Har
ris Community.
The Committee was elected
by delegates to the county con
vention, who themselves were
recently elected In their com
munities In balloting sent In
to the ASC Office here.
Brewer points out that the
ASC county and tarmer-com
mlttees'are In charge of local
administration of such national
farm 'programs as ? the Agri
cultural Conservation Pro
gram, the feed grain program,
the voluntary wheat program,
acreage allotments and markets
tng quotas, the National Wool
program, the Sugar program,
commodity price-support
loans, and storage facility
loans. -
Other ASC Office announce
ments, made by John R. Davis,
office manager, are as follows:
ACP: Producers who have
not participated In the 1965
Agricultural Conservation Pro
gram are encouraged to stop by
the ASGS Office In Loulsburg
and find out more about these
government programs. Gov
ernment assistance Is available
to help producers establish the
following practices: Winter
Cover, Fescue In Crop Rotation,
Permanent Pasture, and Lime
on Eligible Farmland.
Marketing Quotas: It appears
that some producers do not
fully understand how' their 1966
tobacco marketing quotas will
be effected If they undersell
or oversell their" 1965 quota.
Present regulations provide
that If a producer falls to sell
the farnV<)uota, he will be per
mitted to atjd his under market
ings. to the Jp65 quota
The allotment will also fluc
tuate accordingly, lor example:
If a producer has a 1965 'to
bacco allotment of 3.0 acre?
and a marketing quota of 6000
lbs. and sells only 400$) lbs.,
the 1966 quota would be 8000
lbs. and 4.0 acres allotment.
All pounds marketed over the
1965 quota will be deducted from
the 1966 quota.
? If a producer gives or sells
tobacco to another -producer
ind Is sold on a card Issued
for a farm other than the farm
from whlcty It, was produced,
a violation will exist and allot
ments are subject to reduction.
