ACCORDING TO T. R. Taylor, Chairman, Rappahannock ASC Committee, the Department of Agriculture announced that the 1975 feed grain and wheat programs will have no set-side requirement, and will provide farmers decision-making freedom to produce for the marketplace. There will be no land removed from agricultural production under these government programs.

As with the 1974 programs, there will be no conserving base requirement for the duration of the Agriculture and Consumer Protection Act of 1973 (through the 1977 crop year). Nor will the provision be implemented during the life of the 1973 Act which gives the Secretary of Agriculture discretionary authority to limit feed grain and wheat to a percentage of allotments.
