The U. S. Department of Agriculture is seeking comments on common program provisions of the 1987 wheat and feed grains programs.

Milton Hertz, acting administrator of USDA’s Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS), said many program provisions are common to all of these commodity programs and whatever decision is made on one commodity will likely apply to other program crops. He said USDA will consider the comments received before making final decisions on these program provisions.

Hertz said USDA wants comments on the following:

— Whether the program enrollment period should apply to all program crops or whether individual program enrollment periods should be established with varying sign-up dates based on geographical location.

— Whether the production of approved nonprogram crops should be allowed on underplanted program
