The structures of the twenties (arid others of even earlier times)
handicap farmers more than they realize; barns too small for today’s bigger
cows and bigger herds; sheds that can’t accommodate modern machinery;
electrical, water, and waste-disposal systems badly overburdened.
Agway has erected more than 2,600 farm structures, worth more than
$26 million. Barns of all types, feed storage and handling systems,
machinery and crop storage sheds; milkhouses and milk-handling systems—
including sanitizing equipment. Trained Agway crews, under skilled
supervision, handle the whole erection and installation contract.
Agway assumes total responsibility for labor and materials.
Whether you intend to modernize existing structures or build completely new
facilities, it will pay you to have Agway’s skilled planning service
investigate your needs and make recommendations. There's no obligation.

Farmers Must
Answer Survey
to Keep Base
In order to maintain wheat
allotment and corn base, farm
ers must respond to a survey
currently underway, according
to Miss Dorothy Neel, Lancas
ter County ASCS executive
director.
Fred G Seldomridge, county
ASC committee chairman,ex
plained that the Agricultural
Act of 1970 made changes in
the law concerning farm wheat
allotment and/or feed grain
base.
To keep a wheat allotment or
feed giam base it is necessary
that the wheat, corn/ and sor
ghum acreage grown on each
farm operated be reported to
the county ASCS office annual
iy.
Postcards have been sent to
farmers for this report. Enter
the acreage of each crop plant
ed for 1971 harvest in the ap
propriate space, farmers have
been instructed.
Wheat, corn, and sorghum
acieage will be used to deter
mine future wheat allotments
and feed gram bases. If no re
port is received or no crops aie
grown in 1971, wheat allotment
and feed grain base will be re
duced by 20 per cent next year.
If no report is received for
three years, the law provides
that allotment and base will be
dropped from ASCS records.
“Your farm earned these crop
allotments and bases. It is to
your interest or a future own
er’s interest to maintain the
records, although you are not
participating at the present
time,” Seldomridge said.
All crop acreages requested
on the card will be used to
evaluate the effectiveness of
the 1971 set-aside farm pro-
