H. S. Barksdale, Chairman of the County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee, suggests that now is a good time for farmers to bring up to date farm records which are maintained in the county ASCS Office.
Records are kept on farms in order to have information for participation in Government programs administered by ASCS. A farmer who has bought, sold, leased, rented, or otherwise acquired or disposed of farmland should visit his County ASCS Office to report the transactions.
The ASCS Committee Chairman commented that previous farm legislation is expiring and Congress is expected to take up proposed new farm legislation when it reconvenes in November. Whatever farm programs we have, farmers will want to be sure their farm records are accurate and complete when the programs go into effect, i bounty ASCS offices are required to keep records on acreage of all farms in order that owners or operators may participate in any ASCS-administered program. These include programs for feed grain, wheat, cotton, peanuts, rice, tobacco, sugarcane, and sugarbeets in years when proportionate shares are in effect. In addition, ASCS-administered farm programs include price-support on several other commodities such as soybeans, flaxseed, honey, and dry edible beans.
The County ASCS Committee Chairman said that if a farm is constituted differently now than it was when the farmer begain program participation, and if he hasn’t yet reported the change, he should do so as soon as possible. Also, if a farm has changed owners or operators in that period, a report should be made to the county ASCS office.
