’64 Feed Grain Prog.
Sign-up Is High
Ab of March 17th, 62 farms in Rappahannock County had been signed up for partici-' pation in the 1964 feed grain program, H. S. Barksdale Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee, has announced. County farms eligible to take part in the program total 234. “Eligible" farms are those which grew one or more of the three feed grain — corn, grain sorghum, or barley - during the program’s base years 1959 and 1960.
Feed grain acreage signed up for diversion through the program now totals 682 acres including 627 acres of corn, 5 acres of grain sorghum, and 50 acres of barley. Feed grain base acreages of these participating farms amount to 915 acres.
Based on farmers’intentions as recorded at the ASCScoun-' ty office, these producers will earn an estimated $22,800.00 in diversion payments for participating in the feed grain program this year.
The Chairman points out that the 1964 feed grain program offers farmers an opportunity to continue the progress of the past 2 years in balancing supplies with estimated needs. At the same time, the program payments give participators a substantial return from their acreage in which they usually have a heavy investment.
