National Drug Take Back Day

According to Henry County Sheriff J. Kent Oberkrom, his office in conjunction with the C.O.D.E. (Community Organization for Drug Elimination) organization will be participating in the National Drug Take Back Day this Saturday from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. at Summer’s Pharmacy in Clinton.

Anyone who has un-wanted or un-used prescription medications are urged to bring them to Summary’s Pharmacy so they can be properly destroyed. The Drug Take Back in Clinton is a cooperative effort of the C.O.D.E. group and the Henry County Sheriff’s Office.

C.O.D.E. and the Sheriff’s Office have a permanent drop box at the Sheriff’s Office, 200 North Main Street. So if you are unable to make the Saturday event, you can drop off your medications at the Sheriff’s Office during regular business hours Monday through Friday.

FSA Reminds Producers of Upcoming Crop Reporting Dates for Forage Crops and Fall-Seeded Small Grains

The Bates County Farm Service Agency would like to remind producers all 2014 perennial and biennial forage acres, such as pasture acreage intended for haying or grazing, must be reported to FSA by the Nov. 15^th, 2013 deadline. All fall-seeded small grain acreage, such as winter wheat, barley and oats, must be reported by Dec. 16, 2013. 

 

USDA changed crop acreage reporting dates as the result of a combined effort of FSA and the Risk Management Agency (RMA) to make acreage reporting easier and standardized for crop insurance and FSA purposes. All acreage must be reported for a farm, including crops on non-cropland, such as hayed or grazed grassland and other cover crops. Reporting acreage ensures producers are eligible for current and future FSA farm programs, including disaster assistance and NAP insurance.

Current rules state the above crops can be reported late, but a fee will be charged per farm. Please come on by your local office and report for 2014 benefits. Additional office information- CRP payments went out the week of October 21 and Direct payments are to go out the week of October 28. 

 

For questions contact the Bates County Office at 625 west Nursery in Butler, or call (660) 679-6112 or visit online at www.fsa.usda.gov.
