The work sheets do not obli

and most farmers will find these
payments a helpful form of crop
insurance. When a farmer car
ries out the practices for which
payments are offered, he will re
ceive his payments regardless of
the effect of dry weather on his
crops.
The work sheets will be used
in checking each grower’s com
