grain sorgnum. The diversion payment for shifting part of the farm’s feed grain base to a conserving use does not apply to the first 20-percent diversion except on farms with small bases. The price-support payments are earned on the projected production from the acreage scheduled for planting up to 50 percent of the farm’s total feed grain base for the farm; one or more of the feed grains -- corn, grain sorghums, or barley—could be planted on the acreage, or soybeans could be planted in lieu of a feed grain. These pr ice-support payments are assured no matter what disposition is made of the crop. The Chairman said that there should be no delay in the prompt receipt of the payment where the dlverted-acreage and program provisions have been met. The payment will be made after the application form is completed and signed. Farmers were also reminded by the Chairman that, even though program payments are to be made in .the near future, the approved conserving practices are expected to be carried out on designated diverted acreage throughout the remainder of the year.
