I only have one square field on all of my farms. That one is a sixty acre one. The ASCS sent me a notice that my acres where "adjusted" after they renewed their maps. That field was only fifty-four acres after "adjustment". So I called and had them sent out the county field man. He and I chain measured the field. Came out sixty acres right to the decimal point. He went back to the office and I went in the next day. The county supervisor told me that the computer maps where the official measurement and that chain measuring was too "inaccurate" to be used.
So I appealed to the county board. One of them is retired from working in the office. She will vote however the super wants her too. The other is a horse women that only got on the board to keep the "crooked" farmers honest, her words not mine. The other being an actual farmer. 2 to 1 vote that the computer was correct. I appealed to the state board and also got a lawyer. He had to get a court order to get them to actually show us how they arrived at the acreage. I laughed my behind off when they showed us how they where doing it. Whoever had made the maps had inverted the slide they made the maps off of. The college educated know-it-alls where measuring the field across the road. Turns out that only one woman "knows" how to run the equipment and she will not let any of the others run the acreages. She is not even from this county she came from another office that they cut staff from. She does not even know the roads around this county. She was only printing off a small map for everyone else to look at. If they had looked at the bigger slide they would have seen the difference in the roads.
So it cost me a five hundred dollar lawyer bill just to prove my land stayed the same.
