Kenansville Production Credit As
sociation was organized in 1934. It
is designed to make agriculture
and livestock loans to farmers. The
1 farmer does not have to be a land
owner.
Kmg said there is no limit on the
size loans which can be made to a
particular farmer as long as security
and size of operation justifies such
a loan.
, Each person receiving a loan from
the Association automatically be
comes a member. There are approx
imately 2.000 members in the Assoc
iation for 1954.
Any , producer who intends to
plant corn In 1955 on a farm where'
no corn was planted during the
years 1952, 1953, or 1954 should ap
ply for a "new farm" corn acre
age allotment if he wants any price
support or an ACP payment in, 1955
Harvey Arnold, Chairman of the
County Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Committee, said
today.
Marketing quotas do not apply
to corn, the Chairman explained.
However, under the acreage allot
ment program, the production ot
corn in 1955 on a farm which ha
no corn acreage allotment would
make all the crops from the farm
ineligible for price support in 1955.
Likewise, the producer on such a.
farm would be ineligible for any
payment under the 1935 Agricul
tural Conservation Program.
Application forms for ' new farm"
corn acreage allotments are avail
able at tne County ASC office. Jan
uary 15. 1955 is the last day such
applications may be filed.
