[Jacob-list] Federal payment program

[Mark and Cathie Williams]

If any of you haven't checked out the Lamb Meat Adjustment Assistance
Program, it's worth looking at.  This is USDA program, administered by the
Farm Services Agency, that subsidizes $100 per ram purchased between July
'99 and Sept '00 and will also pay for 20% of the cost of facility
improvements.  While it is geared towards commercial meat producers, our FSA
office says that the year 1 funds can be requested by any sheep producer who
purchases rams that cost more than $100 or does any facility improvements.
