ASCS
Sign-Up
LEESPORT (Berks
Co.) The Agricultur
al Stabilization and
Conservation Service
(ASCS) will open sign
up for the 1993 Wheat
and Feed Grain prog
rams on March 1,1993.
The sign-up period
closes April 30.
To qualify for target
price protection and
price support loans.
ASCS official Richard
Troutman said particip
ants must reduce their
acreage bases by at least
10 percent for com, and
5 percent for grain sorg
hum. There is zero
acreage reduction for
wheat, oats, and barley.
“Target prices pro
tect producers’ income
if market prices fall
below the established
levels,” Troutman said.
He said farmers also
need money to operate
and, through the price
support loan program,
they can obtain interim
financing while waiting
for a better market.
Farmers who partici
pate in the 1993 Wheat
and Feed Grain prog
ram may request 50 per
cent of their estimated
deficiency payments
during sign-up, accord
ing to Troutman.
Details of the 1993
farm programs soon
will be available to pro
ducers through the
county ASCS Office.
