This often becomes a challenge. “Many conservation practices have been adapted on a wide scale basis,” Wehry said. “A wise use of Our natural resources can be achieved through voluntary com pliance. We are at a crossroads, and the turn we take will allow us to build on the conservation bene fits derived from the 1985 and 1990 farm bills, or we will lose all we have achieved. “The variety of programs admi nistered at the ASCS office give rise to an array of paperwork that causes the most intellectual to scratch his head. Seventy-five per cent of the farmers in my commun ity are assessing if it is worth the necessity of jumping through all the hoops. For this reason I ques tion if we are regulating away the effectiveness of our farm prog rams. We need to look at what we P. L ROHRER & PRO., INC. Smoketown, PA have achieved and maintain these results. “Programs such as whole-farm base, which provides farmers with greater flexability in management decisions, will allow the ag com munity to maximize profits and insure a stable food supply. The ag producer must be a specialist in many areas. I devote 70 hours per week in my operation, and my major concern still is how my bills will be paid. Food production is an important issue, and farmers have met this need with the cheapest, safest, most abundant food supply in the world. I believe this adminstration needs to consider the economic needs of the farm community while developing the 1995 farm bill. If we give farmers the management tools to be suc cessful, we will successfully meet the food needs of the nation,” Whery said.
