The ASC elections this year will be held September 11. Ballots will be mailed to voters about September 1. Farmer voters will elect three community committeemen and two alternates in each ASC community in the county.
Farmer-elected ASC committees-community and county-are responsible for local administration of farm programs. These responsibilities include setting individual farm acreage allotments and bases, approving applications for conservation cost-share funds, providing information to farm program participants and simiUj* duties. Through the ASC committee elections system, farmers can nominate and elect people of their own choice for these important responsibilities.
After the community committees are elected, the newly-elected members hold a convention to fill vacancies on the county ASCS committee. The county committee makes all local farm program decisions, with the assistance of community committees.
