If wages total 150 dollars or more or 20 working days are reached, tax is 3 percent with a 3 percent matching employer share totaling 6 percent. Form 943 is due when liability hits 100 dollars, and post 1962 rules require 3 percent withholding and 3 percent match. Obtain farm employer numbers at the post office and file Form 943 by January 31, 1962.

Possible Farm Plans Are Listed
Robert J. Bevins of Kansas State University outlined 1962 farm policy expectations. He predicts attempts to impose wheat bushel quotas, a possible but unlikely integrated feed grain and wheat program, and political moves to broaden production control through marketing orders. He doubts many proposals will pass, foresees soil bank bill visibility, and expects reduced USDA enthusiasm with no government cost reducing programs evident.
