[Jacob-list] Re: FSA Ram & Facilities Rebates

[BIDEWEE at aol.com]

Robin C. - if you haven't already called to check on your facilities payment 
you might want to.  I took our ram/facilities rebate application in on the 
deadline, Friday 10/13 and they disbursed funds on the ram portion the 
following Monday.  I hadn't received anything on the facilities portion by 
the end of Oct so I e-mailed them.  They sent a note back saying they had 
somehow 'missed' the facilities portion when the ram payment was made and 
they disbursed funds the next day.  

Just in case anyone needs details and the web site for the new wool payment 
program - here info from the Oregon Sheep Growers Assoc. newsletter...
Farmers who produced and sheared wool and/or mohair in 1999 may be eligible 
for a new USDA payment program.  Sign up for the new program began October 
10, 2000 and ends December 29, 2000.  Applications are available from Farm 
Service Agency (FSA) county offices and over the Internet at: 
 www.fsa.usda.gov/dafp/psd/

This program was approved earlier this year as part of the Agricultural Risk 
Protection Act 2000.  Approximately $11 million was allocated for wool and 
mohair payments.  The payment rate is 20 cents per pound for wool and 40 
cents per pound for mohair.  For more information about this new program call 
or visit your nearest FSA County Office or visit the FSA website at: 
 www.fsa.usda.gov
