farmers with full details of the program. Notice of feed grain base acres, projected yields, and payment rates have been mailed to farmers. Program explanation leaflets were included. Wheat allotment notices and program explanations were sent in the fall of 1969 to eligible producers following the announcement of the 1970 program provisions for that crop. Participants who comply with program provisions are eligible for price-support loans and payments on their feed grain and wheat crops. Also, feed grain and wheat producers may receive payments for diverting additional acres from production of these crops.
In Rappahannock County, 240 farms with about 4000 base acres of corn, grain sorghum, and barley are eligible for participation in the feed grain program. There are 73 farms with wheat allotment acres totaling about 600 acres. Last year about 40% of the feed grain farms were signed up in the ASC farm program, about 40 percent of the wheat farms were signed.
