diversion payment. Diversion features of the program were eliminated because farmers no longer need to produce less than will be consumed in order to reduce the surplus. Farmers may elect any erf several options when they participate in. the program. They can plant all of their allotment acres and be eligible for price-support loans and domestic certificates. They can plant up to 50 percent more than their allotment acres, store the excess production, and be eligible for certificates plus loans on the wheat not stored. They can plant as little as 35 percent of their allotments and be eligible for the maximum number of domestic certificates in addition to a loan on their production. The program still offers the opportunity to substitute wheat and feed grains to allow farmers the maximum opportunity to decide what combination of crops will be best for their operations. Two feed grains, corn, and grain sorghum, will be included in the 1967 Feed Grain Program. Farmers who participate in both the wheat and feed grain programs can elect to substitute wheat for corn or grain sorghum or may substitute corn or grain sorghum for wheat.
