E. Wat-< son, County Executive Director for the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. Previously, flue-cured tobacco allotments could be leased and transferred only on an annual basis. Watson said there are some new provisions this year for lease agreements extending for more than one crop year. They Include: 1. Consent of llenholder. The llenholder must consent In writing to a transfer of allotment and quota from a farm subject to a mortgage or other lien. 2. Re computation of allotments and quotas. Each year a transfer is in effect the acreage allotment and marketing quota shall be recomputed, and appropriate adjustments will be made in the amount of the transfer. Watson explained that the farm marketing quota, pound for pound, is the basis for lease and transfer of flue-cured tobacco -aUkUnents, and all quotas are recomputed each year. Most provisions on lease and transfer of flue-cured tobacco allotments are the same as in previous years when only annual leases could be made. Lease agreements must still be approved by the County ASC Committee before becoming effective. Deadline for filing leases for 1971 allotments is April 1,1971. Watson also reminded farm ers that transfer must be within the county and must be between (arms with established allotments for flue-cured tobacco. Another provision limits transfers so that a receiving farm may not obtain an allotment larger than 50 percent of the cropland acres on the farm. "These are only hlghllghtsof the lease and transfer provisions," Watson said. "Farmers Interested in learning full details should check with their County ASCS Office."
