If your name appeared in the open
* letter to farmers in this paper on 23
* February and you are not farming,
* please contact Jimmie Willis (north half
* of county) or Adam Andel, South. Also, if
¥ you are farming and were not listed,
* please contact us. We are compiling a list
of farm operators. We have determined
¥ that approximately 54,000 acres of land
¥ are devoted to small grain and row crop
* farming and approximately 170 farmers
I operate these acres.
¥ The American Agriculture plan is to
* set-aside fifty percent of our farm land to
* reduce surpluses and improve prices. It
* is expected that you would set-aside your
* less productive land and by doing so,
£ should be able to improve your operation,
* thereby increasing your per acre yield.
* Mississippi State Agricultural economist
¥ estimate your production would decrease
¥ by only one third when discussing
soybeans. They also estimate a price
¥ increase from $5.75 per bushel to $lO
- 12.00.
Farmers are working in all counties of
* Georgia and other southern states to
¥ determine if enough farmers are willing
* to set aside sufficient acres to accomplish
¥ this goal. To date we have 61 farmers who
¥ have signed the agreement to set-aside
* 13,590 acres in Houston County towards
£ this goal. If 100 percent of our county
¥ farmers sign the agreement, we are
* talking about 27000 acres, 13,590 acres
¥ represents 50 percent of our goal. Many
* of our county farmers have not attended
* our meetings each Tuesday night at 7:30
« in the Perry High School lunch room.
¥ Therefore, they do not understand the
plans and are not familiar with the en

other states. If too many farmers wait for «
their neighbor, we will loose the op- *
portunity to do for ourselves. A small *
group will always disagree but they *
never seem to have the answer them- *
selves. *
You hear that everybody is preparing *
their land for planting. That is correct, *
especially in parts of the state that is not *
too wet. We expect farmers to plant on ¥
time and we say that we have time to ¥
allow the plan to work. *
We know the corn and soybeans sur- *
pluses are created in the central part of ¥
the U.S. They start planting in April and *
are finished late in May. If the set-aside £
plan fails up there, we have sufficient *
time to plant our soybeans. If some *
satisfactory legislation is passed, we will ¥
have time to plant soybeans. If all acres ¥
planted in soybeans last year plus many *
cotton and some corn acres are planted in *
soybeans this year, it is estimated by *
many that prices will be less than $5.00 *
per bushel. A reduction of 25 to 35 percent ¥
would cause prices that we could live ♦
with. *
Now is the time to decide - don’t wait «
for someone to visit you - If we unite - the ♦
plan will work - It can’t fail.
