Participation Volun.
In Feed Grain Prog.
Participation in the 1964 feed ?rain program will be entirely voluntary, as in earlier years, according to H. S. Barksdale, Chairman, Agricul tural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee. Only those growers who take part in the program, however will be eligible for price support on the three feed grains, corn, barley and grain sorghum.
Producers on farms which grew any of these grains in either 1959 or 1960, or in both years, will have the opportunity to sign up in the program during the period February 10 through March 27. In the meantime, ASCS County Office staffs will be glad to answer any questions growers may have. The grower who diverts as many acres as he signs up to divert — at least 20 percent of his farm’s total feed grain base — and carries out Other provisions of the program will earn a payment for acreage diversion and will become eligible for the feed grain price-support loan and payment. Since the payments vary by crops, the diversion payment will be based on the kind of crop acreage diverted; and pric/e-support payment will be based on the kind of feed grain planted. A higher rate of diversion payment will apply where more than the minimum 20 percent of the base Is diverted.
The tcr'eage diverted from production of the feed grains is to be devoted to an approved conservation use, and this acreage is in addition to the conservation - use base acreage for the farm. Payment will average hlghet this year, and the maximum diversion is higher. A new pro vision in the 1964 program limits the diversion payment to no more than 20 percent ol the fair market value of the land diverted in 1964. Mr. Barksdale says the program has some very attractive features this year. He suggests that every farmer get a first-hand explanation at the ASCS county office.
