Growers of corn, grain sorghum, and barley now may sign up to take part in the 1963 Feed Grain Program H. S. Barksdale, Chairman of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee for Rappahannock, County, announced today. The signup period will extend through March 22, 1963.
The voluntary diversion program for these three feed grains is generally the same as last year. Of the few provisions different from the 1962 program, the principal one is that special pr ice - support payments will be available on acreage grown on participating farms in addition to the regular price supports through loans and purchase agreements. Another difference is that barley this year is included with corn and grain sorghum in one program whereas barley was in a separate program last year. Here are highlights of the 1963 Feed Grain Program as set forth by Chairman Barksdale: Farms with a total feed grain base of 25 acres or less may divert the entire base acreage (1959-60 average acreage) as adjusted. The payment rate for such farms will be 50 per cent of the county support rate on the normal production of the diverted acres. The county support rates on the normal production of the diverted acres. The county support rates reflect national average support prices of_$1.25 per bushelfor corn, $2.00 per hundredweight for grain sorghum, and 96 cents per bushelfor barley. Farmers who divert the entire base may plant no 1963 feed grain acreage.
