ASCS accepts
late reports
T. V. Williams Jr., chairman of the Rappahannock County ACSC Committee, said late-filed acreage reports will be accepted as long as the farmer pays the cost of verifying the acreage and there is physical evidence of production.
Mr. Williams said July 15 was the last day for farmers to report their 1987 planted acres and some producers in the county have not filed a crop report this year. Late reports are subject to mandatory spotcheck.
Crop reports are used by ASCS to determine program compliance and to document crop-acreage bases. Before farm-program participants receive price support loans, deficiency payments and other benefits, they are required to report crops and acreages planted, the uses to be made of these crops and cropland acres to be devoted to the acreage conservation reserve.
Mr. Williams said crop reporting is very important to farm program participants because without the report, they are not eligible for benefits on 1987 program crops. The acreage report determines the level at which farmers are eligible for progam payments and other benefits.
Acreage reports currently on file indicate that 20 partidtpating farms in Rappahannock County are certified and eligible for 1987 farm program benefits.
