Farmers Losing
Lamb Subsidies

Many sheep growers are failing
to apply for subsidies on lamb
sales and thousands of dollars
are being lost.
The subsidy rightfully belongs
to the farmer who grows the
lambs, but some buyers, who are
not slaughterers, are collecting
the subsidy and keeping it them
selves.
Hazel Meacham, Extension
marketing specialist at State Col
lege, advises that growers take
a copy of the bill of sale issued
by the slaughterers of the lambs,
not necessarily the buyer; sub
NIT the bill of sale to the local
AAA office; and receive a sight
draft for the subsidy.
The subsidy is So per hundred
>cunds on lambs weighing 60 to
pounds; $2.65 per hundred or
weights of 80 pounds and up;
md ST on all other lambs and
sheep.
The subsidy applies on all sales
through June 80 and the farmer
IAN claim the subsidy through
august 81.
