; Again this year 1968
Chowan County farmer*
will have the responsibil
ity of reporting their crop
acreages to the ASCS of
fice. Ttfis is what we. call
certification.
.1 This system has worked j
Extremely well. It is con
venient for the fanner and
also has resulted in a sub- j
stantial savings in the op-!
erection of ASCS programs. |
County offices give farm-'
srs as much assistance as j
possible to help assure thatl
the acreages reported are |
correct. Farmers are fur- j
nished photocopies of their;
farms which give the acre
ages in each field. AStCS
personnel will also assist
farmers in making compu
tations from measurements
the farmers have made.
Farmers may also obtain
official measurement ser.
vices from ASC)S Ibis
service must be requested
and paid for by the farm
er. Two types of measure
ment services are available.
Premeasurement, which
has been available over the
years, is still available. In
addition, a farmer may get
Jiis acreage measured after
planting is completed but
before he certifies.
