ACP GOST SHARE PAYMENTS NOW
MADE AT ASCS STATE OFFICE
A major change in making
payments for cost - shares to
farmers under the agricultural
conservaton program was an
nounced Monday by Darrell L
Baird, chairman of the Alaska
state ASC committee. In the
past 25 years all payments to
farmers were paid through the
use of U S. Treasury checks.
Under the new system, pay
ments are now to be made at
the State office through use of
sight drafts drawn on Federal
Reserve Banks.
Baird said that payment by
sight drafts would not be lim
ited to farmers; vendors will
also receive payment for fur
nishing materials and services
to farmers to use in perform
ing conservation practices on
their farms through use of sight
drafts. Cost shares are paid tc
farmers for performing im
proved conservation practices
in designated areas of the state,
described as Fairbanks County,
j Homer County and Palmer
I County. Most of the farming in
these counties is concentrated
i in the Tanana and Matanuska
, Valleys and the Kenai Penin
| sula with some cattle and sheep
; ranches on Kodiak Island and
I the Aleutian Chain.
Baird said that by using the
I sight draft system instead of
1 the old Treasury draft, farm
! ers and vendors wTill receive
their cost-share payments 30 to
60 days sooner than they for
merly did.
Use of sight drafts by state
ASCS people is not a new
thing, Baird said. County and
state ASC committees have
been using them for a number
of years in connection with the
commodity loan and storage
facility loan programs.
