Cost-shares available for agricultural needs

during the school's award ceremony recently. Tina, left, received the

the Elementary School. Tonya also received awards for the highest

Farmers who have determined
coneervation needs on their land can
review the list of Agricultural Con-
servation Program < ACP) practices
available at the Cherokee County
Agricultural Stabilization and Con-
servation Service.
"Producers may sign up for con-
servation practices to be performed
this summer and fall as well as their
projected needs for the 1M8 spring
planting season," Manuel Aguilar,
county ASCS official, said.
Coat-shares are available to per-
form soil and water conservation
practices including limestone to be
applied to established grasses;
overseeding permanent pasture
with legumes (arrowlesf clover,
crimson clover, vetch and singletary
peas); establishing permanent
vegetative cover (coastal bermuda,
bahia, common bermuda and
lovegrass); critical shaping
(gullies), constructing animal
waste control facilities; planting
pine trees; improvinga stand of pine
trees.
ACP funds are used to correct
conservation problems on a farm
beyond that which would be accom-
plished with the producer's own
resources. The program provides
both technical and financial
assistance to help farmers solve soil
and water conservation and water
quality problems. Requests for cost-
share assistance are considered af-
ter each signup period. The ap-
plications are evaluated as to the
loss of soil and/or water, and the
amount that can be saved by per-
forming the requested practices.
According to Aguilar, 225 ACP
requests were approved in 1906 to
treat critical soil and water conser-
vation problems on 3,375 *<-res o
farmland. Cherokee County s 1907
ACP has been funded at 198,1 .
"Farmers who have conservation
problems that need to be solved
should contact our office as soon as
possible," the ASCS official said
The current signup period ends Aug.
