Misunderstanding of Beef Cattle Program Addressed in Virginia
P H DeHart of the Agricultural Adjustment Agency says there is a widespread misunderstanding of the Beef Cattle Production Program. Meetings with about 50 beef producers revealed no strict 30 day dry lot rule or grade requirements for non slaughtered cattle. Eligible cattle may be grazed or fed as needed, with specific rules for feeder slaughter and payments of 50 cents per hundred pounds. Proof of sale and ownership, plus slaughterer details, are required, and payments are processed through county Triple-A offices.
