USD A terminates
emergency feed
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S.
Department of Agriculture has
issued an interim rule terminating
its emergency feed program on
Apnlß.
Everett Rank, administrator of
USDA’s Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Service said the
program, designed to share with
farmers that cost of buying
livestock feed in emergencies, was
being terminated as a money
saving measure in view of the
urgent need to reduce the federal
budget. He said. the program is
discretionary and could be started
again should conditions merit.
Rank said county ASCS offices
have been instructed to process
program
emergency feed applications
received by March 9 in accordance
with normal program procedures.
Applications filed after March 9
but no later than April 8 may be
approved, if eligible. Rank said.
However, he said, cost-sharing
assistance for these applications
will be limited to livestock feed
purchased no later than March 9
and on hand at the time the ap
plication is filed.
Comments cn the interim rule
which appear in the March 9
Federal Register are requested
and must be received by May 10.
Comments should be sent to Jerry
Newcomb, director, emergency
operations and livestock programs
division, USDA-ASCS, P.O. Box
2415, Washington, D.C., 20013.
