ASC committees are responsible for managing government farm programs on the local level. To meet the needs of individual producers, ASC committee members must be concerned and responsible individuals. Farmers have the opportunity to nominate persons they feel would best serve the farm community. Farmers have received petition forms by mail and are now submitting them to the county ASCS office.
