Payments Made To
ASCS 1963 Grain
Program Participants
Final payments to farmers tak
ing part in the 1963 wheat stabili
zation program and the 1963 feed
grain program for com, grain
sorghum, and barley are now be-
i n g made, according to an
nouncement by H. A. Ropp, ASCS
office manager.
Advance payments were made
to many producers at the time
they signified ther (intention of
participating in the program as
a means of helping them to meet
their production expenses. These
final payments include the spec
ial wheat and grain price, support
payments which are a new fea
ture of this year’s division pro
grams.
Ropp reminds farmers that
compliance with provisions oi the
wheat stabilization and feed
grain programs does not end
with receipt of the final program
payments. The land retired from
production is to be protected and
may not be harvested throughout
the calendar year 1883: it may be
grazed after November 1, 1963. A
vialation of these or other pro
gram provisions could result in
a substantial loss to the pro
ducer.
