County Extension Office.
1. Which land goes into the
wheat acreage reserve7
Answer The land eligible for the
wheat acreage reserve in Ohio is
that land normally planted to
wheat. Wheat must have been
grown on the acres designated for
the acreage reserve during one or
more of the years 1926 inclu-
Sive. Wheat has acreage allot-
ments and is one of the basic COM
modities. The conservation reserve
is in addition to the acreage re-
serve. 1t is different land.
z. What provisions relate to ten
ants and landlords7
Answer The compensation of te-
nants and landlords shall be spe-
Gifted In the agreement The share
of compensation of tenants and
landlords shall be on a fair and
equitable basis and must be ap-
proved by the county ASC COM
fnittee.
No agreement will be entered
into if it appears: I'd That the
operator or landlord has not af-
forded his tenant or tenants an
opportunity to participate in pro-
portion to the number of acres in
their respective shares of the
wheat allotment. (2) That the op-
orator or landlord has reduced the
number of tenants or the share
Of the wheat allotment available
to tenants. CD That there exists
between operators, landlords and
tenants an agreement: (a) to cause
any tenant to pay over to the
landlord or operator any compen-
sation, or (b) to change the sta
tus with respect to the land or
tc) to reduce the size of tenant
share of allotment, or I'D to in
crease rent to be paid by tenants
or to decrease share of crop recei-
we'd by tenants.
Tenants moving after an agree
ment is signed but before compen-
sation is paid shall be paid their
share of the payment providing
they retain interest in the wheat
crop. Successor tenants can be
paid providing the ASC is notified
in writing and the successor tenant
executes an agreement with the
ASC.
8. Do have to be in compliance
with all allotments to qualify for
the 1857 wheat acreage reserve2
Answer Yes. A farmer over
planting his tobacco allotment or
corn allotment or base whichever
is in effect, will be ineligible to re-
ceive acreage reserve payments
for reducing wheat acreage in
1857.
4. How Can use "banked" acres
in 1887
Answer No crop maturing as
seed or grain can be harvested
from acreage reserve acres for the
entire year, January l, 1857 to De-
cember 81, 1857, except a crop
which normally would mature in
1856 but was not harvested due
to conditions beyond the control
of the operator. No grazing is per-
mitted between January /, 1857
and December 81, 1857 except in
emergency cases. Noxious weeds :
Johnsongrass, bindweed, quack
grass, and Canada Thistle must
be controlled. An ASC approved
cover crop may be planted. Wheat
for harvest in 1858 can be planted
in the fall of 1857.

5. Do sign an agreement?
Answer A one year contract is
signed by the operator by Sep
tember 81, 1856 for the 1857 wheat
acreage reserve. 1t the operator is
a share-tenant the agreement must
be signed by each person who has
control of the land, or who is to
receive any compensation. If an
operator has an absentee landlord
who is required to sign the agree
ment, the operator must secure the
landlords signature and file the
agreement with the ASC office be-
fore October 81, 1856. The opera
tor still must have signed the
agreement by September 81, 1856.
6. How will normal yields be de-
termined for each farm7
Answer The county ASC comm
ittee will have an average county
yield as determined by the Agri-
cultural Marketing Service. The
county normal wheat yield is the
average from 1946-55. The town.
ship will have an average yield
determined in such a way that var
ious township acreages and pro-
duction will balance with the
