fall crops
To avoid having to make a separate visit to certify fall seeded crops, Linda Henry, director of the county’s Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service office, suggests farmers may want to report the acres and intended uses of their wheat, oats, barley, rye and other small grains when they apply for the 1989 farm programs.
ASC’S is currently conducting signup for the 1989 wheat and feed grains acreage reduction programs. The sign-up period ends April 14.
Ms. Henry said fall-seeded crops which are not reported by June 15 will be ineligible for program benefits.
Farm program participants are required to report their actual acres planted for harvest to be eligible for price support loans, deficiency payments and other benefits. Farmers who do not enroll in the acreage reduction program could also benefit by reporting their planted acreage because the report may be used for crop history purposes, according to the ASCS official.
Acreage reports are used to determine compliance with farm programs and for documentation for future programs. ASCS randomly checks farms to verify that the reports are accurate, Ms. Henry noted.
Farmers who have questions about certifying their fall-seeded crops or about the 1989 acreage reduction programs are encouraged to contact the Rappahannock ASCS office (675-3(119) for more information.
