NO! 27 Feed Grain Program Being Formulated ASC Office Manager Explains Steps Taken to Get Pro gram Activated Br GARLAND L CATLETT (Office Manner, Granville ASC) It is now definite that there will be a Feed Grain Program for this year. Such a plan was approved by President Kennedy on March 22. Preparations for putting th pro visions of the iaw into effect has been underway in the county since March, 1st. Meetings were held in each townships on March 3 and 4 to ob tain 1959 and 1980 feed grain acre age for each farm. Farm to farm v.sits were made later to complete acreage reports. These reports were averaged, and summarized by ^townships and $he county. The average acreage of corn for the two years in this county was 24,384 The average of grain sorghum was 431 acres. Agricultural Marketing Ser vice statistics for the county gave 20,600 acres as the average for corn o/er this period and this amount was set as the corn base for the county. Our Community Committeemen were assigned the responsibility of reducing farm acreage to bring the totai within the county base. They were also required to establish a productivity index for each farm as compared to the county average. The tobacco production ever the past three years was the basis for these determinations. 1. The notice to farmers and the beginning of the sign-up will prob ably start April 12. 2. To be eligible for price support on any feed grain including com, grain sorghum, oats, barley, and rye, the farmer must participate In the feed grain program. 3. The minimum acreage for a participating farm is 20% of the approved base. Any farm with a base of 20 acres ar less can divert up to the smaller of the base or 20 acres. . —_ * - l!.Off)cial^*hbhw*'of^tf3 hum base and payment rate will be mailed to farm operators and the sign-up will begin immediately thereafter. 5. The maximum acreage which may be diverted for payment de pends upon the size of the fajrm base. If the farm base is 25 acres or less the base becomes the maxi mum. If the base is in excess of 25 actes, but not more than 100 acres, the maximum diversion is 20 acres plus 20 percent of the base. If the farm base is more than 100 acres, the maximum Is 40 percent of the base. 6. Diverted acreage must be de voted to approved conservation uses in addition to the acreage on the farm normally devoted to con servation uses. , 7. One-half of the expected pay ment will be made within a few days after the farmer signs up. Curtain Time Far Junior Ptay 8 P.M.
