*67 Feed Grain Prog.

Payments To Be Made

Growers participating in the 1967 feed grain program will begin getting final program payments soon after August 21, H. S. Barksdale, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilisation and Conservation County Committee, said today. The payments will cover both diversion and price-support payments. The diversion payments were available only for small farms (farms with feed grain bases of 25 acres or less)and farms with larger bases if the operator chose at time of signup to plant no feed grain. Growers had the opportunity — at signup time in the spring — to request an advance payment of one-half the estimated total payment to be earned under the program. Where this was done, the payment now available represents the balance of the payment due for participation in the 1967 feed grain program. In total, these payments are estimated at about $20,600.00 for the expected 88 county participants in the 1967 feed grain program. The payments will raise returns from the 1967 corn and grain sorghum crops substantially. Farmers participating in the program are also eligible for loans on their entire 1967 crops of the two grains; national average loan rates are $1.05 per bushel for corn and $1.61 per hundred weight for grain sorghum. The diversion payment for small farms is equal to 20 per cent of the total support for the first 20 per cent of the base acreage diverted and 50 percent of the support or any additional acres diverted, up to the total base.
