I have I urged all producers to qualify for I [heir payments before it is too late now they have one other I [dance to qualify. I Tlie supervisors or local commltI teemen are checking compliance ; I and in several cases producers 1 I could have qualified for their maxI imum payments by doing a small . I amrunt of work. I have one case I in mind where the producers lackI ed two-tenths of an acre qualifying ' I for his full payment. This producer I showed idle land that could have I tea seeded to a crop that would I have qualified him. The program is not intended to work a hardship cn any farmer, I hut the farmer must realize that I he has an obligation to meet and I unless he meets this obligation the soil conservation program is not | going to benefit him from the . standpoint of paymentsWe have one of the best signups in this county of any county in the ] state and I am proud of the fact that a majority of the farmers are qualifying for their payments. I am ' concerned with the small producer trtio thinks the program has nothing to offer him. The small producer is taken care of in this pro- ' gram and should take advantage , of the program.
