Measuring Begins
for Grain Acreage
Each farmer is participating
I in the 1961 feed grain program
1 has a permitted acreage of com
and grain sorghum for the cur-
rent crop season, according to L.
G. Caskey, chairman of the
County ASC Committee.
The feed grain program is a
voluntary program in which
farmers agree to divert part of
! their corn and grain sorghum
I acreage to conservation uses
The permitted acreage of com
and grain sorghum for a farm
is the farm base for com and
grain sorghum minus the num-
ber of acres a farmer agreed to
divert from production of those
two crops in 1961. The permit-
ted acreage is important if a
farmer intends to earn the pay-
ment he expected at the time
he signed up.
Now is a good time to check
the acreages of crops for har-
vest to see if the permitted
acreage has been exceeded, Cas-
key said. He recommends that
each farmer taking part in the
feed grain program also care-
fully review his records to be
sure he is diverting the number
of acres he intended to take out
of production.
The acreage diverted from
production must be devoted to
conservation uses to be classed
as diverted acres. Conservation
use of the diverted acres also
must be in addition to the aver-
age number of acres on the farm
used for conservation during
1959 and 1960.
Farmers atking part in the
feed grain program should be
