Disaster Aid
Applications
Deadline Set
Farmers who would like to
%et, disaster payments from the
ederal government for crop
losses resulting from 1986’s
severe drought must make
final application between Mon
day ang Jan. 30 at the Chat
tooga County Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation
office, says the Georgia Farm
Bureau.
Farmers in Georgia's 159
counties can apply for the
disaster payments if they have
suffered a crop loss of 50 per
cent or more, according to rules
issued Dec. 19 by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture.
E;)ayments will be made in
the form of Commodity Credit
Corporation certificates, which
farmers can sell or transfer for
cash, said Georgia Farm
Bureau President Bob Nash.
These certificates are
redeemable for commodities
held in government storage.
Congress has appropriated
S4OO-million for the payments
in this disaster program. If
that isn't sufficient, payments
will be prorated, according to
the rules.
The disaster payments
must cover not only
Southeastern farmers hurt by
the region's worst recorded
drought, but also farmers in
other areas such as Michigan,
who lost crops from floods this
year.
‘“‘Supplemental funds are
not available under the ex
isting law,” said Nash.
Outlining eligibility of
Georgia farmers for the
disaster aid, Nash said that
producers of both farm pro
gram and non-program crops
can receive payments.
However, he noted that pro
ducers of program crops must
have ?articipated in govern
ment farm prorgrams in 1986
in order to receive payments on
program crops, although the
same producers can get
payments on non-program
crops.
Program crops include
wheat, feed grains, upland cot
ton, rice, soybeans, sugar
beets, sugar cane and peanuts.
Non-program crops include
vegetables, fruits, tobacco and
other crors that a farmer pro
duces in large enough quanti
ty to have a substantial impact
on his income.
Jobless Rate Rises
Higher In November
Chattooga County’s
unemployment rate shot up to
8.8 dpercent in November, ac
cor in% to preliminary figures
compiled by the Georgia
Department of Labor.
The rate for October was
7.7 percent. However, both
figures are considerably lower
than the 11 percent unemploy
ment rate recorded by the
county in November, 1985.
However, the rate went
down from 6.6 percent in Oc
tober to 6.3 percent in
November in the 10-county
Coosa Valley Area Planning
and Development Commission
(CVAPDC) region, the Labor
Department said. The
November, 1985 rate was 7.5
percent in the region.
The state’'s unemployment
rate in November remained at
7.5 %ercent, the same as in
October.
EMPLOYED
The number of Chattooga
residents employed in
November of last year was
7,958, a decline from the 8,132
employed in October. A total of
7,7%5 was employed in
November, 1985, the state
said.
Nash also noted that accor
ding to the final rules, program
crop losses will be restricted to
quantity losses only, including
reduced yields, prevention
from planting and inability to
harvest.
Non-program crop losses
will be paid according to both
quantity and quality. Each
county ASCS committee will
determine the quality ad
justments, taking into con
sideration 1986 actual produc
tion, disaster payment yield,
average market price and the
price received by the producer.
USDA will consider two
factors in determining eligibili
ty for disaster aid payments
for non-program crops:
whether tfiere has been a
substantial loss of production
and whether an economic
emergency has occurred.
Farmers who are covered
under Federal Crop Insurance
are still eligible for the disaster
program. But, the total of
disaster and crop insurance in
demnity payments can’'t ex
ceed 100 percent of a farmer's
normal farm rogram
payments or what a Farmer of
non-program crops would have
normally produced and sold.
Disaster payments are also
limited to SIOO,OOO for pro
gram and SIOO,OOO for non
program crogs per individual
producer. The payments for
program crops will be based on
the loss of production and the
county price support loan rate.
Two exceptions for Georgia
crops, however, are upland cot
ton and peanuts.
For a crop for which there
is no loan rate, the payment
rate will be based on an
average market price for the
crop.
Nash asked farmers to
begin gathering the crop loss
documentation they must have
such as commercial receipts,
CCC loan documents and
warehouse ledger sheets.
“If a farmer has already fil
ed for disaster payments, it's
important that he make
another visit to the county
ASCS office to see if changes
need to be made since the final
rules have been published,”
said Nash.
A total of 756 Chattooga
residents was without jobs in
November, compared to 674 in
October and 959 in November,
1985.
The county's total work
force in November of last year
was 8,723, compared to 8,806
in October and 8,684 in
November, 1985, the Labor
Degrartment indicated.
he primary reason for a
reduction in the region’s work
force was because a number of
seasonal farmworkers exited
the job market, according to
Joe Tanner, state Labor
commissioner.
RATES
The civilian labor force con
sists of the total number of
residents who are either
employed or are jobless but ac
tively seeking work. The
unemployment rate is based on
the numger of residents, 16 and
older, who are in the job
market but not yet working.
The rate of five APDCs
went up and the rate of five
went down in November, com
pared to October, while the
jobless rate of two APDCs re
mained unchanged.
