Md. farmers can obtain drought aid
ANNAPOLIS, Md. -
Maryland Secretary of
Agriculture, Wayne A.
Cawley, Jr., reminds all
fanners who have suffered
crop losses due to heat and
drought that the full range at
applicable USDA loan arid
low yield payment programs
are now operational in
Maryland.
“I have been informed by
the regional office of the
Farmers’ Home Ad
ministration that seven
Maryland counties have
been declared disasters.
These counties are Caroline,
Talbot, Queen Annes,
Somerset and Wicomico on
the Eastern Shore, and
Carroll and Frederick on the
Western Shore.
“FmHA further has in
formed me that Dorchester
County will be added to the
list within a matter of days,”
he said.
Swine

Located on a dairy farm
owned by his father, Elam,
Beiler’s open front hog con
finement building has an
automatic feeding system
and liquid manure storage.
A panel ventilation system
regulates the temperature of
the fully insulated budding,
whose electrical wiring and
plumbing were done by
Seller.
“I really enjoy it. I
wouldn’t want anything
else,” he said. “You can plan
your own schedule and do
things the way you want.
Your success depends on
you.”
Beiler’s schedule involves
about an 18-hour work day
when one batch of hogs is
marketed and the building
must be cleaned and
disinfected for the next
batch. About an hour a day is
required to monitor the
automatic feeding and
watering system after the
hogs have been placed in the
building.
Beiler also does about 85
percent of the field work on
his father’s farm and last
“In addition, a number of
other counties are now being
considered and will likely be
so designated. In particular,
St. Map’s, Calvert, Charles
and Prince Georges in which
assessments of actual losses
are now being concluded as
the tobacco and corn harvest
seasons wind down. This
information is not yet
available.
“The programs of the
Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Service
are now activated statewide
as they do not depend on an
entire county being declared
a disaster area. The
Maryland ASCS Office
already has 1051 low yield
claims -being processed in
regards to corn crops.
“They also are ready to
process applications for
emergency feed assistance
from farmers, notably
dairymen and cattlemen,
year spent some SO days
traveling, speaking at
banquets, and participating
in leadership training
conferences as the nor
thcentral vice president of
the Pennsylvania PFA
Association.
Active in his local FFA
chapter, Seiler'served as
chapter treasurer and
president of the SUN Area
FFA organization. 1
Named the chapter’s Star
Greenhand and runner-up
for the county Star Farmer
Award, he is the first Mif
flinburg member to advance
to the National FFA
Proficiency Awards
Program. He is also a
member of the Mifflinburg
Young Farmers Association
and the Pennsylvania
Farmers Association.
The swine production
award is one of 22 FFA
proficiency awards provided
through the National FFA
Foundation, Inc., and the
Pfizer Company. The win

who have suffered heavy
(greater than 40 percent)
loss of hay, pasture and feed

who has been hard hit this
year by the heat and drought
should contact his local
FmHA and ASCS office to
discuss his particular
