The 1964 feed grain program will be basically the same as the successful 1963 program, Mr. Barksdale, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee, said today. The signup period fot both fall- and spring-sown crops is planned for early 1964. The principal change in next year's feed grain program is an increase in the top limit on diversion from a farm's base acreage with an increase in the rate of payment for maximum diversion. This will encourage producers to divert additional feed grain acreage and to increase their income. In 1964, a producer may divert up to 50 per cent of his feed grain base acreage (in 1963 it was 40 per cent) and those who divert from 40 to 50 per cent will receive diversion payments at the maximum rate for ALL Acres diverted. Following is a table of the maximum acreage that may be diverted:
BASE
25 acres or less
26 to 50 acres
51 acres and over
89.1%
