Deadline Looms For Certifying Feed Grain Land
July 20 is the final date to certify acreages for the 1972 feed grain program. Farmers must know exactly what they certify and report the exact acreage set aside. Once certified, adjustments are not allowed and errors can end participation. Certification also confirms compliance with conserving base provisions and other program requirements. County ASCS offices begin data processing for payments after certification. Payments support set asides to balance supply and demand while offsetting income loss from cropland.
