Oil Production Maintains Above One Million Barrels in May
Nebraska May oil output stayed over a million barrels with a daily average of 33 727 barrels. The Sleepy Hollow Field in Red Willow County supplied about a quarter of total production. Four new fields could yield about 125 thousand barrels annually if they hold initial potential, with three in Cheyenne County and one in Kimball. Plans target continued western drilling in 1969, especially in the Panhandle, and Platte Valley expects a wildcat in Red Willow County. Several other new wells are reported in Cheyenne, Morrill, Kimball, Scotts Bluff, and Sioux counties, with various operators and contractors.

First Wheat Certificate Checks Sent to Cheyenne County
Cheyenne County wheat producers begin receiving payments totaling $2.337 million for 1969 wheat certificates. Checks, issued by a Federal center in New Orleans, reflect parity-based values and compliance with conservation requirements. County totals and statewide figures are provided, noting prior noncompliant farms.
Retain Payment Statements for Wheat and Feed Grain Programs
Producers in the wheat and feed grain programs should read and keep the payment computation statements and sight drafts. Ray Davis, Cheyenne County ASC Chairman, says the statements form a key part of farm records and detail program type, payment amount, planted and diverted acreage, and projected yield. Payments for wheat occur in July and feed grain in September, with the statement attached to the payment draft. If lost, farmers can obtain the record from their county ASC office and may receive multiple statements for each program.
