Closing date set for farm program work sheets
June first is the deadline for Georgia farmers to file work sheets under the new soil conservation farm program. County Agent G. Daniel says the State Agricultural Conservation Committee set the date and asks all county agents to have forms in by then. Filing a work sheet does not obligate a farmer, but those seeking federal payments later must file. The sheet describes farm details, 1985 crops, yields, and acreage adjustments to determine base soil-depleting crops and payment eligibility.

VEGETABLE GROWERS MAY BOOST PAY BY GREEN MANURE USE
Farm news notes that truck farmers using winter cover and green manure crops can lift their soil-building allowance under the Agricultural Conservation program. Acreage in vegetable crops counts if tied to winter cover or green manure crops turned under between Jan 2 1936 and Oct 1 1986, with crops aged at least two months. The soil-building payment cap equals the farm's total acres of soil-conserving crops in 1986, though per-acre rates for certain practices may exceed $1.00.
