Report Fuel
To help assure that farmers
don’t run short of fuel this season,
the U. S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) is asking
farmers to:
-Report any shortages to local
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Service (ASCS)
offices, and
-Use fuel conserving methods
with tractors, trucks and other
machine-driven equipment.
The Department since
February has been monitoring
the farm fuel supply situation
through its more than 2,800 ASCS
county offices. Any shortages are
reported immediately through
state ASCS offices to Washington.
In addition, a regular farm fuel
situation report is prepared for
Secretary of Agriculture Earl L.
Butz every Wednesday.
Any problems that arise are
forwarded immediately to the
Office of Oil and Gas (OOG), U.S.
Department of the Interior, for
solution under the voluntary
allocation program. William E.
Simon, chairman of the
President’s Oil Policy Committee
and deputy secretary of the
Treasury, has pointed out that
farmers and the food industry
have priority in getting
petroleum products To assure
continuous coordination with the
OOG, ASCS has loaned it a
professional employee.
ASCS said some suppliers have
not been able to meet farm

customers’ needs fully. Officials
said this is partly because in
dependent and cooperative fuel
producers and marketers have
not been able to obtain enough
supplies.
The current planting period is
critical to farm production.
Officials involved do follow ups
on shortage reports to make
certain that corrective action is
being taken
USDA has been working with
the Departments of Treasury and
the Interior to encourage farm
fuel conservation practices.

Farmers can conserve fuel use
by keeping tractors tuned and
using minimum tillage practices,
for example.
USDA officials also urged
farmers not to buy more fuel than
they need in the near future.
Officials stressed that equitable
distribution is necessary if all
farmers are to have enough fuel.
Public hearings hearings will
be held June 11-13 in Washington
by the Treasury Department to
see how the voluntary crude oil
and product allocation program
is working.
