ASC Conservation
Reserve Contracts
Cannot be Extended
Chairman. Paul Jone of the
County Agricultural Stabilizat
ion and Conservation Committee,
announced that conservation re
serve contracts which expire in
I960, or later years are no longer
eligible to be extended for an
additional erlod of years.
Previously, contracts entered
Into for 3 years or less have been
eligible for extensions up to the
maximum of 10 years upon ap
plication filed with the county
ASC committee at any time be
fore the original expiration date.
The extensions of contracts Is
being stopped at this time be
cause of the fact that extension
of a contract has the same effect
as a new contract and would re
quire the expenditure of addit
ional conservation reserve funds.
Under present legislation, no
new conservation reserve con
tract may be entered into.
Mr Jones said the present rul
ing has no effect on the period
of existing contracts. These will
continue in accordance with con
tract terms.
The county ASC office also
should be notified whenever
farm land which involves an
acreage allotment or a conser-
..-.flnn onntrart is boueht or Sold.
There are certain regulations
concerning the combinations ana
nf farms which must be
carried out whenever land with
acreage allotments changes
hands. Notification of the county
office will enable the necessary
changes to be made on office
records.
In many cases, it is even better
if th ASC office can be con
sulted before the farm real es
tate deal is closed. This may
nroVAtlt later misunderstanding
as to how allotments or conser
vation reserve contracts may be
effected.
Intermediate Swim
