Another factor that" will alter plans is the small supply of phos phate. Farmers in the county have ordered 44,960 bags of 20 phos phate (as well as 9,116 tons of lime and 544 bags of 50 muriate of potash), but so far dealers have had great difficulty in getting delivery on orders of phosphate The farm plans also include put ting 4,386 acres in winter cover crops, 1,429 acres in small grains, seeding 5,012 acres in permanent pasture, and 650 hours of bulldozer work on hillside trails. AAA pay ments on all practices would total $113,493.80. "After we know exactly how much we will be given for pay ments and get an idea of the amount of phosphate that will be supplied," explains Mr. Dulin, "the committees will make adjustments on requests to balance what funds are on hand."
