Payment
Computation
Statements
Producers who enrolled in
this year's Set-Aside Program
for feed grain or wheat are now
receiving earned payments
along with their payment
computation statements.
Emory Robinson, chairman
of the Madison County
Agricultural Stabilization
Conservation Committee,
points out that it is most im
portant for producers to retain
these computation statements
along with their other farm
records. They provide im
portant details such as the
program for which payment is
made, the gross and net
payment for the entire farm as
well as for individual
producers, the planted and set
aside acreage, and the
projected farm yield used for
payment computations.
Mr. Robinson stressed the
importance of producers
verifying their computation
statements with their farm
records before filing them in a
safe place. Those who have
questions should get in touch
with the County ASCS Office
and those who lose or misplace
their payment statements may
obtain this information from
records at the ASCS Office.
In conclusion Robinson said
that Madison County began
issuing 1971 program payments
and statements to its producers
on July 1 and expects to com
plete issuance within the next
few weeks.
