workability and versatility the far

LEESPORT (Berks Co.)
The Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Service (ASCS) is
currently accepting acreage
reports for the 1994 farm prog
rams. Farmers have until June 15
to report the sizes and intended
uses of their wheat, oats, barley,
rye, and other fall-seeded small
grains.
“Small grain crops that are not
reported by this deadline will be
ineligible for program benefits,”
ASCS official Richard Troutman
said.
Before reporting, farmers can
request that ASCS measure their
program acreage. The measure
ments are furnished at cost, and
guaranteed for the crop year.
Troutman said measurement ser
vice is not only valuable to prog
ram participants, but to any farmer
who desires an accurate acreage
for any reason.
