Diverted Acreages May
Be Used For Grazing
Acreage diverted under the
1969 feed grain and wheat pro
grams may now be used for
livestock grazing, C. A. Bag
well, Chariman of the County
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation (ASC) Committee
announced. Grazing could
begin on October 1, 1969.
He reminded farmers that un
der normal circumstances no
grazing is permitted on acreage
stUl under contract in long
term retirement programs such
as the Conservation Reserve
and the Cropland Adjustment
Program. In counties de
signated for emergency assis
tance because of natural dis
aster, county ASC committees
may permit haying and grazing
on these lands.
Today's announcement aff
ects only livestock grazing on
land diverted under annual co
mmodity programs. No diverted
acreage may be harvested, ag
ain with the exception of those
counties designated, for the em
ergency program, where both
grazing and haying may be per
mitted by county committees.
Diverted acreage is land set
aside from crop production by
farmers participating in vol
untary commodity programs.
Diverted acreage must be kept
id conserving uses. Among
other provisions, this means no
livestock may graze during the
growing season. Vegetative co
ver is required to be maintained
to protect the diverted land from
erosion.

The welcome extends throughout the house.
Convenience gives a prestigious and practical
touch to hospitality.
Take cooking, for instance. You cook the
coolest and most modern way. (Many electric
ranges even clean themselves!) Electric house
cooling and heating mean you can enjoy
white-glove freshness in every room.
When things do need cleaning—things like
dishes or clothes or people major electric
appliances help. Dishwashers. Clothes washers
and dryers. Dependable water heaters.
Add the planned-for-the-future advantage of
adequate wiring, and you have a home of
exceptional charm.

Public benefits are provided
by conserving use of diverted
acreage, Mr. Bagwell said, as
well as protection of the far
mer’s land. By helping prevent
soil erosion, conserving uses
keep water run-off more silt
free than if the land were left
idle but unprotected. Diverted
land also provides many thou
sands of acres of wildlife hab
itat.

No Laws Concerning Venison
There are no state or federal
laws to prevent local meat
plants from handling venison or
deer killed by hunting cus
tomers, according to Commiss
ioner of Agriculture Tommy
Irvin.
Irvin said rumors persist th
roughout the state that local
meat plants andfreezer lockers
could not handle venison be
cause of certain state or federal
laws.
“Our requirements are the
same as those required under
Federal law,” Irvin said. “We
expect meat plants to handle
venison in a clean and sanitary
manner to protect both the hun
ter and the consumer of other
meat products.”
The Commissioner said a
meat plant must have ample
room to segregate venison from
other meat products to prevent
any possible contamination. He
added that government meat in
spectors have final authority
over whether a plant can handle
such meat products properly.
He emphasized that the indivi
dual plant had every right to
refuse to handle such meat if
the management did not wish to
do so.
Irvin said hunters should not
expect meat plants to handle
dirty deer carcasses. He urged
