Conservation Practice
' Farmers who signed up under one or more of the 1965 diversion programs—for feed grains or for wheat—were reminded this week that now is a good time to take care of conserving-acreage provisions of those programs. H. S. Barksdale, Chairman Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee, explained that, under the diversion programs, the participating farmer agrees to devote an amount of acreage to conserving uses which is equal to the farm’s normal base acreage in such 'uses in addition to the acreage signed up for diversion under the program. If the farmer signed up in both the feed grain and the wheat programs, he would need to increase his farm’s 1965 acreage of cropland devoted to conservation use above the conservation base by not less than the sum of the acreage signed up for diversion to conserving uses under both programsfincluding the basis 11.11 percent of the wheat-allotment acres for which no diversion payments are available.). Failure to meet the conserving-use or any other provision of the diversion programs could mean loss of all program payments for that crop price-support loans and payments, wheat marketing certificates, and diversion payments.
******** Do you have plenty of storage space for your grain? If not, this would be a good time to apply for a facility loan to erect additional storage. The interest rate is only 4% and only charged on the unpaid balance. Farmers with plenty of good storage space can hold their grain until the market reaches its peak, which could be the difference between making a profit or not. Consult us for details.
