Farm Service Agency offers Small
Hog Operation Payment program
The USDA Farm Sen ice Agency
is announcing the second Small Hog
Operation Payment (SHOP) Program
sign-up. Under the second SHOP
sign-up producers will be paid up to
$ 10 per slaughter-weight hog (or the
equivalent for feeder pigs and other
swine) multiplied by the number of
hogs (up to 500) marketed during the
last 6 months of 1998. For payment
purposes, producers arc limited to
5(X) market hogs (or the equivalent
number of feeder pigs), so the maxi
mum payment that w ill be paid to any
operation is $5,000.
Hog farmers who received pay
ments under the original SHOP will
receive a prorated amount to bring
the total payment to $10 per slaugh
to find evidence to support the belief
that one party was made victim of an
assault by another individual.
On follow-up however, the alleged
victim sometimes changes his her
mind on charges being pursued.
Tribal police over the last ten years
have practiced in one form or another
the concept of mandatory arrest. This
policy is recognized as law in many
other jurisdictions throughout the
nation.
Of late, it seems that more violent
type issues or crimes are for whatever
reason not being pursued in the best
interest of our Tribe. Police along
with the Prosecution have agreed that
these type of incidents must be
pursued.
In most situations, if an officer
arrives on scene and can substantiate
probable cause, an arrest will be
imminent. If both parties sustain
injury, the officer may opt to arrest
both parties who will be taken tojail.
This type of behavior or incidents
can not be tolerated in our
community. To often, it is not just
the parties involved that are hurt as a
result of their parties actions, but
anyone else who is witnesses. It is
unfortunate but most times, the
secondary victims are those children
who are subjected first hand to the
level reached.
ter-weight hog or equivalent.
Payments will be made through
USDA's Farm Sen ice Agency (FSA)
local office.
Sign-up for the new hog payment
will bcginAugusi9andcnd Septem
ber 1999. During this sign-up period,
producers who did not participate in
the previous SHOP must apply for
the program at their local FSA office
to receive payment.
Farmers who received previous
SHOP payments need no reapply;
their payments will be made auto
matically. If interested or for more informa
tion please contact the Farm Sen ice
Agency at (54 1 ) 923-4358 extension
2 or visit our office at 625 SE Salmon
Avenue, Redmond, Oregon.
