Lime And Phosphate Distributed To Frederick County Farmers
Approximately 289 tons of 20 percent phosphate and 16,438.25 tons of lime were distributed under the 1943 supplementary materials program of the AAA, according to State Field Representative Hamilton Linthicum. He explained the program aimed to aid farmers with phosphate for pasture land and lime soil applications, with participation limited by available supplies and eligibility tied to 1943 AC units and timely applications. Some complaints arose about late notice, and penalties could apply for misuse or nonuse, including affecting 1944 allotments. County committees and local dealers coordinated outreach across nineteen districts with a $5,000,000 East Central Region fund supporting qualified farmers.
