Farmers urged to keep ASCS payment computation statements
Producers receiving payments under voluntary feed grain and wheat programs will get payment computation statements with their drafts. Joe Lynch, Palo Alto county ASC chairman, urged farmers to retain these statements with farm records and verify details like program, gross and net payments, acreage, and projected yield. He advised checking with the County ASCS Office if questions arise and to replace lost statements from county records. Farmers in ACP should not alter performance standards without prior county approval to protect potential payments.
