Explaining the ASCS role for farmers and public
Frances Craig asked me to write about the Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation Service. The ASCS is the USDA agency overseeing price support production adjustment and conservation. It includes state county and community farmer committees and handles CCC operations. It funds price support through loans and purchases, sets marketing quotas and acreages, and offers stabilizing and incentive payments for key commodities. It also manages conservation cost sharing and rental programs, emergency disaster relief, and civil defense preparedness. County ASCS offices are the first contact for farmers. A brief later article will detail major programs. Farmers should regularly check stored grain quality to prevent loss in value from moisture and pests, especially as fall temperatures drop. Aeration stirring and fumigation may be needed to avoid deterioration.

Larger Storage Bins OK If Managed Properly

Drying depth, rate of fill, and moisture content determine efficiency and risk of overdrying. for 27-foot bins, drying before storage or cooling after can reduce mold and insect damage.
