Lancaster FSA Sets
Farm Bill Meeting
LANCASTER (Lancaster Co.)
County Executive Director
Kathy Baxter announced that the
Farm Service Agency (FSA) will
hold a meeting to discuss provi-
sions of the 1996 Farm Bill May
„23 at 7:30 p.m. at the Farm and
' Home Center.
“The new farm law offers a
one-shot opportunity to sign up
for the new seven-year program.”
Baxter said. “Once the May 20
through July 12 sign-up period
closes, only farmers with land
coming out of the Conservation
Reserve Program will be eligible
to enroll.”
“It is critical that all affected
people understand the changes
that the new farm law will bring to
farm operations.” County Com
mittee Chairman Luke Brubaker
said. “The Farm Bill places a lot
of responsibility squarely on the
shoulders of farmers and there is
little time left to get all of the in
formation needed to make some
important, long-term decisions.”
At the meeting, participants
will have an opportunity to view a
videotape presentation by Agri
culture Secretary Dan Glickman
and senior Washington, D.C. staff
on the general provisions of the
new farm law. Local FSA staff
will brief local participants on the
technical provisions of the farm
programs.
“Included with the new planting
flexibility are some options, and
some risks, farmers haven’t had to
face before,” Brubaker said.
“Crop insurance has been ‘de
linked’ from the programs, but
disaster assistance is gone. This
means that with few exceptions.
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, May 11, 1996-A37
farmers arc out of luck if weather
ruins their crops.
“Planting flexibility means the
marketplace will decide what and
how much, not the government
Farmers will need to learn how to
make the most of the markets,”
Brubaker said. “The marketing as
sistance loans will be a big help,
but the decisions are not going to
be made for producers they’re
going to have to learn the details
of these programs and make all the
decisions.”
Also at the producer meeting.
Farm Service Agency personnel
will discuss landlord-tenant is
sues, transition payments, pay
ment limitations, loan rates, for
mulas for payments, and other
technical details of the new farm
law.
“This is the biggest change in
production agriculture since the
Great Depression of the 19305,”
Brubaker said. “Yet all of the
changes have to be implemented
in the shortest time the Depart
ment of Agriculture has ever had
to implement a few Farm Bill.
“We have a big job ahead of us,
precious little time to do the work,
a lot of information to share, and
we’re going to provide people
with all the information we can to
help them make the best deci
sions,” Brubaker said. “Imple
menting farm legislation in the
best of conditions is difficult This
year it will be a big challenge.
“The Farm Service Agency’s
people will get the job done,” Bru
baker said. “We’re going to get it
done quickly, and we’re going to
get it done right”
