Farmers facing mixed conditions
By Sally Jamir
The ktaicof farming thrcmghoin
the counts range* from good to

tall, according to aan. ultural
spokesmen.
Hoke (. ounty is not .aicgori/ed

kind, according to Jhomas Starl
ing, county executive director with
the Agricultural Siabiluaiton and
Conscrsaiion Service
f ountics primarilv m the
western pan o I the state did receive
assistance in ilie form of ha*. trc>ni
other states in the country
County farmers must suffer a
collective loss of 3()"'» in .tops
befor-. they cnialdy for disastei
relief, Starling said.
“There has been .oinc loss in the
corn, but not mat Slatling
said. “We have a gemd crop ot
tobacco, although some of the
lower stalks are not looking as
good as they did last year. Wc need
more ram to get the fertilucr
through the plant so it will cure
well.”
1 he rainfall has been sporadic
through the counts causing the in
consistent quality in the crops.
“The western portion of the
c.v.inly the incsit severely hur».
Some .vction.s of the county have
g:>Mi yields mid some have had bad
yields, " said Wdiie EVaihcruone,
Agiicullural Extension Chairman
‘■Averaged out Ihe loss is not
enough for disaster relief but some
individuals base bad a substantial
loss. This is where the problem
v Oiiies in.“
To lielp allesiate this problem
there are agricultural assistance
programs of which farmers can
take advantage.
The emergency feed program is
an ASCS piogram in which a pro
ducer must have .suffered a 50^o
loss of livestock feed to qualify.
Also low interest loans are
available from this office.
“I expect that a few farmers will
apply,’’ Starling said. “I’ve talked
to a few and they say theyTl assess
their situation.’’
The loxxex in hay will not be
known uMtl the crop has 6«en cut.
However, hay growers tn the
county who are not having a good
crop arc able to contact those in
the county who arc and may buy
hay from these farmers.
The Extension office is putting
together a list of “people who have
surplus hay and will sell it to those
who do not have enough,”
Featherstone said and encourtiged
farmers to call the Extcn.sion office
for information regarding this list.
Featherstone made reference to
