Diversion Program
Has Ins. Feature
Farmers taking part in the 1966 wheat- and feed grain diversion programs have builtin insurance against natural disaster,~7according to H. S. Barksdale, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee. The Chairman explained that last year, when flood, drought, and other such natural disasters prevented farmers fom carrying out their signedup program intentions, special legislation was enacted to enable participants to qualify for the program payments, and thus meet the emergency situation. Because of this expert ence, similar provisions were included in the omnibus Food and Agriculture Act of 1965, enacted last November. Therefore, farmers who sign up to take part in the 1966 wheat andfeed grain programs may still qualify for feed grain price-support payments and wheat marketing certificates if the farmer files a Special application at the ASCS county office and it can be determined that disaster conditions prevented the planting of part or all of the acreage intended for production under the adjustment programs. How ever, the acreage would not qualify for the disaster benefits if it was subsequently devoted to any income-producing crop for harvest in 1966.
