Farmers Urged to File Crop Reports The Lancaster County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation committee held its annual information meeting for farmers on Wednesday afternoon at the Farm and Home Center.

It was explained during the meeting that local farmers need the crops they grow on fields they might otherwise set aside. The economics of feeding livestock take precedence over any payments from government sources for nearly all local far mers. It was pointed out at the meeting that in order to remain eligible for crop subsidies, far mers must supply a record of acreage devoted to crops every year. This is true whether or not the farmer applies for the sub sidy money. Miss Neel pointed out that while a farmer may not be interested in government subsidies, his crop history could become an important factor if he should decide to sell his farm. A potential buyer could not apply for subsidies unless the history were kept updated yearly.
