Time Nears for No
Grazing on Diverted
Farm Acreage
Farmers were reminded today that the “no-grazing” period for land diverted from production under the 1969 feed grain and wheat programs will start May 1. It will continue for the fallowing five months until October 1.
H. S. Barksdale, Chairman of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee explained that producers who are diverting land under the programs have agreed not to graze the land being diverted during a specific 5-month period of the growing season and not to harvest a crop from the land at any time during the year.
Farmers who are taking part in the Conservation Reserve and Cropland Adjustment programs have agreed not to graze or harvest crops from land diverted under these programs during the life of the agreements. These provisions are important to producers because any violation of them may result in reduction or total loss of payments otherwise earned under the programs.
There are 103 producers in Rappahannock County signed up to participate in the 1969 feed grain program and 38 in the wheat program.
