First Wheat Diversion Payment To County Farmer
The first 1965 wheat diversion payment in Frederick County was given to Millard Smith Jr. of Bells Mill by Harold M. Free, ASC chairman. The $150.45 payment supports wheat growers while keeping government costs steady, with broader context on certificates and expected total payments to 245 producers totaling about $53,000. Diverted acres support conservation practices such as tree planting and wildlife food plots.
