Haying, Grazing
Period Open
NORTH CORNWALL (Leb
anon Co.) —The official grazing
and haying period opened Sept. 1,
for land designated as conserving
use (CU) for payment under the
1994 acreage reduction programs.
“Farm program participants
are now authorized to hay or
graze their CU acreage,” Jenifer
K. Hershey, county executive
director of the Lebanon County
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Service, said.
Farmers are not permitted to
graze CU for payment land dur
ing the 5-month non-grazing peri
od set by the State ASC commit
tee, The non-grazing period in
Lebanon County runs from April
4, to August 31.
The 1994 farm program enroll
ment report showed that 70 acres
of Lebanon County cropland was
diverted from production to CU
for payment. “This acreage has
since been planted to cover crops
such as grasses, legumes, small
grains or put into approved con
servation practices,” Hershey
said.
The United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits
discrimination in its programs on

ty, political beliefs, and marital or
familial status. (Not all prohibited
bases apply to all programs.) Per
