Last Day To Get In „r
ACP Program
There’s not much time., to get in under the 1951 Agricultural * Conservation Program, Wednesday, January 31, is the last day.
Farmers who have not yet completed worksheets for 1951 ACP had better get them filed with the local PMA office by that date, H. S. Barksdale, PMA County Committee Chairman advised. He explained that it is necessary to establish a priority date in order to enable the PMA committee to establish a basis for an equitable distribution of funds. It also enables farmers to know the "minimum assistance which they can expect in carrying out conservation plans.
“Most farmers who intend to carry out conservation practices for ACP credit have already signed, but we still believe there are some who have overlooked the matter,” Mr. Barksdale said. “It is not our desire to leave out anyone who wants to share under the program. I hope farmers will heed this last call.”
