JULY wheat COMPLIANCE DATES
EXPLAINED BY ASC HEAD

Montana farmers were again eau
toned this week that July II is the
final date for disposing of winter
wheat acreage to come into compli-
ance with acreage allotments for mar
keting quota, price support and Soil
Bank Acreage Reserve purposes.
This is the first of several dates
in July which are of considerable i'm
portance to wheat growers, Leo S.
Kolstad, Agricultural Sterilization
and Conservation administrative Off
Ger, points out. Observance Of these
various deadline dates will determine
the eligibility of the producer to earn
a soil bank payment, and to secure
price support on his wheat.
While July II is the final day
winter wheat may be disposed of,
producers have until July Fl to dis
pose of spring wheat. Destruction for
Soil Bank purposes may be by plow-
ing or otherwise physically incorpor-
ating the crop into the soil or by
clipping, moving or cutting in such
a manner that the crop will not ma
5ure. If the producer desires only to
comply with acreage allotments, he
may utilize the wheat on excess acres
for green manure, hay, pasture or
;ilage.
