Measurement Service Offered To Farmers With signup in the wheat, feed grain, and cotton pro grams over and planting un derway. farmers in Houston county should apply for measurement service at the County Agricultural Stabili zation and Conservation Ser vice (ASCS) office. This re minder came today from F. W. Langston Jr.. Chairman of the Houston County ASC Committee, who said mca surement service often saves farmers money. “If a farmer plants before measurement, he may plant too much and be out not only the cost of planting, but may also be out the cost of plowing up the crop If he plants less than his allowed acreage, he may lose money by not having as much production as he is entitled to.” Measurement service is of fered by the County ASCS Office to farm program par ticipants as a sure way to know- they are in compliance with acreage requirements of farm programs. When a farmer partici pates in the wheat, feed grain, or cotton program, he certifies to the precise acre age he has in these crops and, except for cotton, the acreage he has diverted from these crops. There is no vol tary diversion provision in the cotton program this year. The farmer must also be certain he has enough addi tional acres in conserving use to meet his conserving base requirement. Errors in certification can result in re duction or less of payments. F. W. Langston Jr. des cribes certification as a “do it-yourself” system by which farmers report their crop and program acres to the County ASCS Office. The Chairman cautioned that farm acreages must be cer tified before the crop dis position date, that is, the final date after which the crop may not be plowed un der for compliance. Most farmers participating in these programs arc famil iar with the “spot check” system, he says, under which farms picked at random have their crop acreages measur ed. Producers found out of compliance by spot check may not dispose of the ex cess crop to bring their acre age back in compliance. Early certification will help speed up program payments, Mr Langston said. Secreta ry of Agriculture Clifford M. Hardin announced earlier this year that final payments to farm program partici pants in 1970 will be made as soon as possible after July 1. Payments are expect ed to be completed as much as two months earlier than in previous years. “For some farmers, early certification may mean they will have to move some of their work a little ahead of schedule,” Mr, Langston said.
