Owners of Several
Farms Eligible for
Feed Grain Program
The 1963 feed grain program is open to owners of several farms whether they sign up only one farm or all the farms they own, according to the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee.
“It is not necessary to sign up all farms in which you have an interest in the feed grain crops in order to qualify for payments and price support on one farm,” the Chairman said, “so long as feed grain acreage does not exceed the base acreage on nonparticip a t i n g farms.”
The 1963 feed grain program applies to corn, grain sorghum, and barley. Growers of these crops may sign up to take part in the program at their ASCS County Officers. The signup extends through March 22.
By participating in the program —diverting at least 20 percent of the farm’s feed grain base acreage from production into a conserving use, the farmer earns a diversion payment and an extra pricesupport payment, and he also qualifies for the regular pricesupport loan or purchase agreement on his corn, barley, or grain sorghum.
The price-support payment— a new feature of the 1963 program-will be made on the normal production of the acreage planted to one or more of the three feed grains in 1963. It will be figured according to the kind of crop planted, based on 18 cents per bushel for corn, 14 cents per bushel for barley.
