Notify ASC If Wheat Allotment
Land is Sold, Farmers Are Asked
The Lancaster County Ag
ricultural .Stabilization and
Conservation office should be
notified whenever farm land
which involves an acreage
allotment or a Conservation
Reserve contract is bought
or sold, Landis G. Becker of
that office said today.
There are certain regula
tions concerning the combin
ation and division of farms
which must be earned out
whenever land with acreage
allotments changes hands.
Notification of the county of
fice will enable the necessary
changes to be made on office
records.
In many cases, Mr. Becker
said, it is even better if the
Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation office can
be consulted before the farm
real estate deal is closed.
This may prevent later mis
understandings as to how al
lotments or Conservation Re
serve contracts may be affec
ted.

ing milk requires about 15
