support loan of $1.05 per bushel, national average, and payment of 30 cents a bushel. For grain sorghum, the loan will be $1.61 per hundredweight, national average, and a payment of 53 cents. Loans will be available on all corn and grain sorghum produced on participating farms. The price-support payments will be computed on the projected yield of acres planted, up to 50 percent of the base acreage.
All farmers will divert 20 percent of the farm’s corn grain sorghum base in order to qualify for price-support payments and loans. Except on small farms, there will be no diversion payments. The payment for additional diversion was dropped from the program in view of the need for increased production and the possibility of encouraging the diversion of too much acreage — as well as to simplify the program. For small farms, the diversion pro gram provisions for 1967 are the same as for 1966, but payments will be higher. Farms with feed grain bases of 25 acres or less will again be eligible f6r diversion payments equivalent to 20 percent of the support (loaij plus
'ttfe’Ce-s
percent of thr'Daleacreage) and 50 percent of the support or any additional acres diverted, up to the total base.
