York Co. gets $19,000 in ASCS wheat and barley payments
YORK - Farmers who reported
their 1984 crop acreage and filed a
deficiency payment application
have received federal payments
for their wheat and barley, ac
cording to Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation
Service chairman, Wilson E. Nace.
Checks totaling an estimated
$19,000 have been issued to 29
farmers in York County.
The 1984 farm program par
ticipants became eligible for
deficiency payments when the
national average market price for
the first five months of the
marketing year fell below the
government-established target
price of $4.38 per bushel for wheat,
and $2.60 per bushel for barley.
Nationally, farmers received an
average price of $3.38 per bushel
for wheat, and $2.34 per bushel for
barley. Therefore, eligible farmers
will be paid $1 a bushel for their
1984 wheat crop and 26 cents a
bushel for barley.
“We began issuing checks on
Dec. 12,” Mr. Nace said. Wheat
payments will total about $18,900,
and barley payments $lOO.
Deficiency payments are
computed by multiplying the
program yield for the farm by the

acreage for harvest times the
payment rate. The per-bushel
payment rate is the difference
between the target price and the
higher of either the national
average loan rate for the com
modity or the national average
price received by farmers.
Nationally, ASCS will disburse
approximately $l.l billion in wheat
deficiency payments, and some $5O
million in barley payments.
To prevent economic loss and
preserve the quality of farm-stored
grain destined for future markets,
Nace said farmers who participate
in the commodity loan and grain
reserve programs should inspect
the crops year-round.
“The grain must be inspected for
insects and mold growth, not only
in warm weather, but also during
the fall and winter months.” Mr.
Nace said program participants
can use prescribed grain storage
and handing methods to eliminate
wasted grain and lost profits.
“The market value of infested
grain may be substantially
reduced if the damaged kernels
lower the grade of the grain. If live
insects are present in the grain,
discounts against the price paid
per bushel are often assessed by

the buyer," he said.
Before farmers apply for a grain
loan they should check to see that
their storage structures are
adequate to control insect in
festation, and then apply an ap
proved insecticide to die grain
when it is placed in storage. This
treatment usually protects grain
from insect damage for almost one
storage season, however, periodic
inspections are still needed

Remember, insects in stored
grain almost go dormant for the
winter. However, temperatures in
the center of newly-stored grain
may be warm enough for insects to
feed and increase in number. Also,
moisture from warm grain moves
to coder parts of the storage
structure, causing damp areas

The ASCS official said when
there is evidence of grain
deterioration, farmers must either
fumigate or recondition the grain,
rotate it with new crops or repay
the loan.
About 150,000 bushels of York
County’s grain crops are under
price support loan. All are stored
on the farm.
