ASC Announces Operating Details Of Soybeans Support Program For Farmers Kenansville Support prices fpr soyueans have been Set at a nation al average level of $2.30 per bushel. This according to Rufus Elks., Of fice Mgr. lor the Agricultural Stabi lization and Conservation Duplin Co. Committee should provide sup port in this State in 1961 in the neighborhood of $2.25 per bushel or at a rate approximately 45 cents per bushel higher than prevailed ast yea- The soybeans support pri ce was increased 45 cents from the level in ia60 to gear production of this important oil crop into the 1961 feed grain program and to meet anticipated needs, he said. Elks emphasized strongly the fact that adequate storage must be avai lable to the farmer, either on the farm or in a commercial warehou ses, in order for hiin to derive any benefit from this price support program.- He also . cautioned farmers to remember the new requirement that soybeans, to be eligible for 1961 support, must be grown on farms where 1959-0 avera.'.e acreage of .onserving and idle land has been maintained. This requirement, he said is designed to insure that in creases in soybean production will come from acreage' that has been used for crops that are in abundant supply such as wheat, cotton, corn grain sorghums and other feed rops rather than lrom land now in conserving uses or idle. As in the past, soybeans will be supported through farm and ware house-stored loans and purchase IMPORTANT MEET Broiler Growers of Duplin and ; surrounding counties will have a meeting at the Court House in 'KenaasvlIIe Moaday. nigbt. May 8 at 8:00 P. M. All broiler growers are urged to attend. Equipment loans run for three years from the date the loans are taken out. Loans may be repaid in three annual installments with the first installment due on the date of the loan's first anniversary. Inter est is at a rate of 4 percent per year. According to Elks, improved loan Provisions should increase storage facilities on farms. He said the ad ministration expects this increased activity to be reflected in other segments of the Nation's economy by increasing the use of steel, wood, and other materials. Loans on storage facilities and on conditioning equipment are made to farmers through count) Agricultural Stabilization and Con servation (ASC) offices. Elks urged farmers who need additional stor age or conditioning equipment to check with their local ASC office. New Business Opens, In Kenansville Fri. Kenansville is sporting a new bus iness.
