CERTIFY WHEN
PLANTING COMPLETER
Producer certification is
required before a producer
receives his set-aside program,
payment. To certify, a farmer
comes into the ASCS Office,
designates his set-aside acreage
on a photocopy of his farm,
certifies his conserving base
acreage and compliance with
other program provisions.
After certification, ASCS
begins processing the data for
that producer’s farm program
Also, after
certification his farm is subject
(o spot check. Farmers should
be sure planting operations
which are affected by program
provisions are completed before
they certify, since no changes
can be made after certification.
Once planting operations are
completed, it is to a producer’s
advantage to certify as early as
possible, since this will help
assure receiving payment as
early as possible after July 1.
NEW LEVERAGE IN
THE MARKETPLACE
Farmers can benefit by
looking over new marketing
techniques now that farm prices
are well above loan levels and
CC-owned grain stocks are at
near zero levels for the first
time in years. This is the
message that is now coming
through loud and clear from
Secretary of Agriculture Earl
L. Butz.
At Memphis, Tennessee early
in May, the Secretary stated:
“We want to give farmers the
chance to maximize their
muscle in the marketplace.” He
pointed out that much of the
perennial farm problem
Ihrough the past four decades
can be blamed on the fact that
government--instead of
farmers-has exerted leverage
in the marketplace.
“As soon as Government
influence in the soybean
industry was diminished,
soybean production and
soybean sales skyrocketed,"
the Secretary said.
"Continuation of Government
domination would have killed
the American cotton industry
and prevented meaningful
expansion of soybean
production,” he said.
The alternative? Muscle in
the marketplace by farmers,

Hie Secretary said. He added
that farmers can now contract
for future sale of their
commodities and carry them
under loan until delivery,
. without loss of loan eligibility.
The Secretary also said that
Government regulations have
been changed to allow this
practice. And he added: “This
gives farmers greater leverage
in taking some of the risk out of
price changes, while they
maintain control and seek the
best terms of sale.”
REMINDERS:
Use of DDT and TDE is
prohibited on tobacco.
If small grains are to be left
on set-aside for reseeding, this
should be reported when
certifying. j
Grazing of set-aside acreage
is prohibited between the period
of May 1 through October 1,
unless prior approval is given
by the Chowan County ASC
Committee.

Social Sscntty
By DONALD S. MORRIS
Field Representative
Sixty per cent of adults
getting monthly social security
payments are women.
Twenty-three million adults
- are paid social security
benefits, and 13.8 million are
women. About 6-million women
get monthly retirement benefits
based on their own social
security work records-20 times
as many as in 1950.
About half of the women
getting retirement checks
became eligible on their
husbands' earnings records.
A working woman can retire
at 62 and get reduced monthly
payments on her own record. Or I
she can wait until she's 65 and I
get full benefits as well as I
Medicare coverage.
But if she’s entitled to higher I
benefits as a wife or a widow on I
her husband’s record, she’ll be I
paid the higher amount.
The working woman has both I
disability and survivors I
protection from social security. 1
If she becomes severely I
disabled and cannot work for a I
year or more, she and her 1
family may be eligible for I
monthly cash payments from I
social security. And starting I
July 1,1973, workers of any age |
who've been getting social I
security disability payments
2 years or more may be eligible I
lor Medicare.
About 460,000 children get I
monthly social security I
payments based on their I
mother’s work records. A child I
who is entitled to monthly social I
security payments based on the I
mother’s record can get them I
even though the child’s father I
may be working at a full-time I
job.
