All farms i,n the county were reviewed by the county committee and those farm operators whose farming operation met the definition of a farm were notified of the county committee's decision. For many years our policy did not require separately owned farms combined, however, due to this regulation at the national level, our county committee had no alternative to deviate from the action they have taken. Due to the farming habits and the value placed on the acreage al lotments in this area, the ASCS State Committee .and County Committee have continuously stressed the need for eliminat ing the forced combination re quirement. . A change in the regulation be came effective February 21 now providing that in the future sep arately owned farms will be combined only upon written con sent of the owners involved. The county committee was pleas ed to learn of this change and ate iivjw nullify j.i ig iciilil uwiil-i and operators who are involved. We regret that this change could not have been accomplished earlier, however, we arc happy j we are now able to constitute farms according to the farmer's desire and we feel sure this new ruling will serve to the sactisfaction of farmers in Per quimans County.. A letter of explanation is being mailed to those farmers who were notified earlier that their farms' would be combined. " -." The Feed Grain - Program Secretary of Agriculture Or ville Freeman testified recently before the Joint Economic Com mittee of the Congress: "The I past two years have seen mean ingful increase in farm income. iNct farm income in 1962 was a ,. .. , .. . ,, ... i Diuion dollars more inu.u in 2960. Even of more personal interest to each farmer was the average income increase in net income per farm of $4;(). Di version of feed grain and wheat, production in the past tow years have made important contribu tions to that increased income. March 2. 1963, is the final date for filing intentions to divert feed grain production this year. A substantial decrease in the production of corn and milo un der the 1963 feed grain program will assure a continuation of the improved farm income trend ofi the past two years.
