Emergency Feed Assistance Program and related farm aid details
The Dairy and Tobacco Adjustment Act of 1983 establishes the Emergency Feed Assistance Program to distribute CCC owned low grade corn to livestock producers hit by heat and drought. Eligible farmers must apply at the county ASCS office by Dec 14 proving insufficient feed for a 90 day period. Eligible producers may buy corn at 75 percent of the 1983 county loan rate stored in county locations, with transportation to the farm paid by the producer. Details on storage locations and prices are available at the county office, including Tazewell VA. Eligible data required include livestock numbers, feed on hand, 1983 production, acreage, yields, and estimated loans. Incentive payments for unshorn lambs require receipts. The 1984 Agricultural Conservation Program signup runs through Jan 15 1984 with cost sharing for conservation practices and long term agreements.
