As the program is now modified, participants may plant soybeans all or pan of the acreage intended for feed grain production under the program and still earn their total feed grain price-support payment. (Previously, to be eligible for price-suppori payments on the maximum acreage, the producer would have needed to plant feed grains on 50 percent of his base; soybeans could have been planted on the remaining 30 percent of the base.)

A producer now may devote to soybeans the acreage intended under the program to be planted to feed grains—or he may plant any combination Of soybeans and feed grain* on the acreage—and still qualify for as many acres for price support payment as when devoting all such acreage only to feed grains. For example, an individual producer (with a lOO^acre feed grain base) who wishes to plant soybeans on intended feed grain acreage without loss of feed grain price-support payments may: (1) Divert the minimum 20 acres, plant 30 acres to soybeans, and plant 50 acres to feed grains: (2) divert 30 acres, plant 35 acres to feed grains, and plant 35 acres to soybeans; (3) divert 50 acres, and plant 50 acres to soybeans or (4) divert 20 acres, and plant 80 acres to soybeans. The action taken to encourage soybean plantings makes no change in the diversion provisions of the program. No provision is made for planting soybeans on diverted acres since legislation does not list
