Freeman has an nounced. To obtain an advance pay ment, farmers may apply for it at the time they sign up to par ticipate in the program. The signup began February 5 and will continue through March 15, 1968. Fred G. Seldomridge, Chairman, Agricultural Stabili zation and Conservation County Committee, explains that the ad vance payment will be 50 per cent of the feed grain acreage diversion payment. Advance payments will not be made on wheat marketing certificates or on feed gram price-support pay ments. - Under the feed gram pro gram, diversion payments on the larger farms will be made on acreage withheld from corn or grain sorghum production above the qualifying 20 percent of the base. This additional di version may total up to 50 per cent of the base, or 25 acres, whichever is larger. The diver sion payment rate per acre will be 45 percent of the total local price support (county loan rate plus the price-support payment) times the yield. (The total local price-support in Lancaster plows; heavy duty, high speed balers and many other hay tools, fork-lifts; tow tractors and matched tractor-loader-backhoe combinations; and other equip ment for farming and industrial operations Open to the general public, free refreshments will be served, movies will be shown through out the day, and drawings will be held for valuable door prizes Oliver personnel will be on hand with the dealership’s staff to answer questions and visit with guests attending the Farm Fair.

For the large farms, no diversion payment will be made on the qualifying 20 percent. Special provisions continue to be available for small farms. If the farm has a feed grain base of 25 acres or less, the diversion payment will be approximately 20 percent of the total local sup pdrt times the yield on the first 20 percent of the base and at the regular 45 percent payment rate on the remaining acreage divert ed to conserving uses. As in 1967, producers with corn-grain sorghum bases up to 125 acres will have the option in 1968 of temporarily reducing their bases tq 25 acres and being eligible for the small-farm pro visions.
