ASCS Office
Welcomes Questions
Farmers participating in the feed grain or wheat programs are urged by H.S. Barksdale, Chairman of the County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee to get answers to any questions they might have before they certify acreage. Call, write, or come in to the County ASCS Office. Be sure you know exactly what you’re certifying before you sign your name.
Producers who are participating in the feed grain or wheat programs must report exactly the acres in these crops and the acres diverted from these crops and certify they have complied with program regulations.
As soon as a producer certifies, the County ASCS Office begins processing the date for payment which will be made soon after July 1. Payments are expected to be completed before the end of August.
We want to prevent any mistake in certification. It could cost a farmer all or some of his payment. Once he has certified, he can’t make adjustments in order to be in compliance. He has to be in compliance when he certifies. If a spot-check shows he has made a mistake, he is out of luck.
So if there’s a question or doubt in a farmer’s mind about exactly what is required, he should ask our ASCS Office as soon as possible. It could save him money.
Mr. Barksdale urged farmers to certify as soon as they know they are in compliance with the programs, saying early certification will help speed payments.
