Many operators may find it more difficult to get this re-fund than they anticipate. In order to properly fill out the application according to Clair Ft. Acord, Utah County Agent, Utah County farmers must have the following: Complete signed paid invoic-es covering all seperate gaso-line purchases; records to sup-port reasonable on highway travel and gasoline use; evi-dence that all gas consuming machinery has been assessed and taxes have been paid; a record of sales, purchases and or use of all equipment using gasoline; a record of land crop-ped by crop produced; a com plete record of all custom work performed. Few farmers now maintain adequate records to properly file their applications. Some operators will need to keep daily accounts of machinery use, especially those who do custom work. Many Farmers are going to be disappointed stated Acord unless they start now to as-semble their information for next years state gasoline re-fund.
