Show Farmers Now Signing Up For Special Wheat Program may be obtained from the County Agricultural Stabilization Stabiliza-tion Conservation Service (AS CS) Office at 95 East Center Street, Beaver. October 15 to December 14 is the period during which winter win-ter wheat farmers may sign up to participate in the 1963 special spe-cial wheat program. A spring wheat sign-up will be open after the first of the year. Under the voluntary reduction reduc-tion provisions for 1963, farmers farm-ers will be able to divert from 20 to 50 of their wheat acreage with special diversion provisions for small iarms. The minimum diversion is 20 of the allotment or the three-year three-year (1959 thru 1961) average wheat acreage, whichever is larger. Acreage diverted to a conserving con-serving use, including summer fallow, must be in addition to the average acreage of conserving con-serving and idle land on thv farm for 1959 and 1960. Di-, verted acreage must be put in a conserving use and kept free from erosion, insects, weeds, and rodents. For farmers who do not participate par-ticipate in the voluntary reduction re-duction program, there is no change in the mandatory provisions pro-visions of the 1963 wheat program pro-gram as voted on by wheat farmers in the August referendum refer-endum on marketing quotas. Those who plant within their acreage allotments will be eligible el-igible for price support at a national average price not less than $1.82 per bushel. Farms with less than 15 acres of wheat will be exempted from any marketing quota penalties. More details on the program |
