Producers Provided

Pay Statements

Producers who took part in the wheat and feed grain programs this year should be sure to read and retain the Payment Computation Statements that will be provided together with sight drafts for program payments, according to Chairman H. S. Barksdale of the County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee.

“This statement will form an important part of producers records, and should be kept with other farm records,” the Chairman explained, adding that “it explains a number of details about the payment that should be useful.”

These include: 1. Program (wheat or feed grain) for which payment is made.

2. Amount of payment, for entire farm and for individual producer.

3. Planted acreage, and diverted acreage if any.

4. Projected yield. Payments made under the wheat and feed grain program in Virginia are normally made in August and the Payment Computation Statement is attached to the sight draft for the payment, Chairman Barksdale explained. “It’s something like the explanatory vouchers that are part of other business checks, or some paychecks.”

"Oie statements are prepared in computer centers and sent back to County ASCS offices, which then deliver them to the farmers, “If this important statement should be destroyed or misplaced after the producer receives it, he can obtain the information record from his county ASCS office,” the Chairman continued.

“It is possible that a producer will receive several, one for each program in which he participates,” the Chairman added, “and he certainly should keep them all as an important part of his operating records. If there are any questions about this, he can contact his County ASCS Office.”
