Farm Change

To Co. ASCS Office

Changes in the number of acres being farmed can mean changes in farm records at the County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) Office. And that means whenever a farmer buys, sells, leases, rents, or otherwise acquires or disposes of farmland, he should drop by the County ASCS Office as soon as possible thereafter to set the records straight, according to Rappahannock County ASC Committee Chairman H. S. Barksdale.

Records are kept on farms participating in programs administered by ASCS. Major ASCS programs in Rappahannock County are: Wheat, Feed Grain, and the Agricultural Conservation Program (AGP).

Mr. Barksdale pointed out that the ASCS office must keep accurate records on total acreage of all farms where owners or operators participate in any ASCS-administered program.

If a farm is constituted differently now than it was when the farmer began program participation -• and if he hasn’t | yet reported the change -- then he should drop by the County ASCS i Office on his very next trip to town to make the report.

Also, if a farm has changed owners or operators in that period, a report should be madej to the county office.

The ASC Corpmittee Chairman l emphasized that changes need be reported only by farmers participating in one or more farm programs administered by ASCS.
