ASCS Farm Notes

1963 WHEAT PROGRAM OUTLINED: The new food and agriculture act of 1962 provides acreage diversion payments for conservation usage, plus 18 cents per bushel additional price support on the participant’s normal production of planted acreage. Payments were provided by the new farm law signed by President Kennedy Sept. 27. They supplement the marketing quotas and price supports previously in effect for the 1963 wheat crop. Diversion payments will be similar to the payments made under the 1962 wheat stabilization program. They will be available to wheat growers who reduce their wheat acreage by at least 20 per cent and who devote the diverted acreage to an approved conservation use; The payment will be

based on the farm’s established wheat yield and one-half of the county price-support loan rate, which will be about 91 cents per bushel. In addition, a price-support payment of 18 cents a bushel on the established yield of the 1963 wheat acreage will be available to growers who participate in the wheatdivision part of the program. Small farms must also be in compliance with their farm acreage allotments in order to be eligible for price-support loans or purchase agreements and the 18-cent additional payment. Price-support loans and purchase agreements average $1.82 per bushel nationally will be available to growers who comply with their acreage allotments. This part of the wheat program is the same

as in previous years. The additional 18-cent payment will be made only to the grower who is participating in the 1963 wheat diversion program—on the normal yield of the 1963 wheat acreage, no matter how much he actually produces. The minimum acreage to be diverted is 20 per cent of the farm allotment or small farm base with a maximum of 50 per cent or 10 acres whichever is the larger.. To be eligible for payment, the participant must comply with his agreement to be eligible to receive payment and must comply with the allotment or small farm base on other farms in which the producer has an interest in the 1963 wheat crop. Cross-compliance will be checked. Notices are now being prepared and will soon be mailed to wheat farmers, telling them how provisions of the program may apply to their farms. The signup date will be announced later. ACREAGE DIVERSION SOUGHT FOR 1963 IN EFFORT TO PRESERVE 1962 PROGRAM GAINS: i It helped cut production about 361 million bushels under 1960 and 130 million below 1961 drought-re-duced crop. The 1962 wheat program had 821,845 participants signed up. They diverted approximately 12.9 million acres. Ultimate goverment savings around SIOO million. The results in 1962 demonstrated farmer’s interest in supply management. Participation helped boost realized net income sl.l mili lion above pre-program 1960 level. ADAMS COUNTY PARTICIPATION IN 1962 WHEAT PROGRAM: 129 Adams county wheat producers diverted approximately 700 acres of cropland to conservation uses under the 1962 wheat program. Earnings for such diversion was approximately $20,000. 1962-CROF SUPPORT PRICE: Adams county corn producers, who participated in the 1962 feed grain program, are eligible for corn price support of $1.21 per bushel on their share of the farm’s normal production of corn. Producers were notified of the normal production figure for their farms or if they do not have their notice, they may call at the county office for the information. Price support is available only for the com actually produced on the farm which was in the 1962 feed grain program. Producers who grew corn on other farms, not in the program, are warned that they are ineligible for price support on these farms and that com produced on a participating farm shall not be comingled with com from the other farms. Corn producers interested in price support are urged to call at the office for information concerning their particular farms before the corn is harvested. USDA officials said that for the second consecutive year the feed grain surplus is being substantially reduced as a result of the feed grain program. A ten-year trend of ever-increasing supplies has been reversed and on October 1 this year the corn carryover is an estimated 1,650,000,000 bushels, down 350 million bushels from a year earlier. On the basis of current estimates of the 1962 corn crop which is below the 1961 crop, the carryover (on next October 1 will again be down substantially. This rapid advance toward a more reasonable balance between production and needs is in contrast to 1959 and 1960 crop years when nearly 500 million bushels of corn were added to the surplus. 1963 FEED GRAIN PROGRAM: The 1963 feed grain program again will be a voluntary program covering corn, grain sorghum and barley. Farmers can take part by reducing their 1959-60 base acreage from a least 20 per cent to a maxmimum of 50 per cent. However, up to 25 acres may be diverted on any one farm if the base is large enough. Those who participate will be eligible for price support at $1.20 a bushel for corn. This will come through a national price support loan at $1.20 and payment-in-kind of 18 cents from CCC stocks. CCC will assist farmers in marketing their payment-in-kind certificates. In addition, payment will be made for land diverted at a rate up to 50 per cent of the price support level for the normal production of the diverted land. No price support will be given to those who do not participate in the program. FARMERS CAN CONTINUE DIVERTING LAND ON EXPIRING CONSERVATION RESERVE CONTRACTS: Secreary of agriculture Orville L. Freeman announced that most farmers who are participating in the conservation reserve program and whose contracts will expire December 31, 1962, will have an opportunity to continue their land in conserving use for another year under a 1963 land use adjustment program authorized by the recently enacted food and agriculture act of 1962. Farmers who have land on which contracts expire this year were urged not to destroy the protective cover , on the land until they become acquainted with provisions of the new program. USDA officials say that terms and conditions to be offered farmers for continuing to hold eligible land in a conserving use will be similar to those for the existing contracts.

Walker We received a letter this week from an organization in Dallas, Texas, known as the Friends of General Walker. It stated that all the 11,200 newspapers in the United States are being asked to disseminate the truth about General Walker. We are only too happy to oblige. Gen. Walker, you will remember, was the combat soldier who commanded the 24th division in Germany. He has an outstanding military record. However, while in command, he instituted a “pro-blue” program for troop information and education which accused a number of members of Congress of being “pro-red,” and actually, through the program, worked against certain political candidates especially incumbents. This was in total disregard for the law of the land, which strictly prohibits military interference with voting in any way. Gen. Walker, after a hearing, was asked to resign from the service, or reform his ways. He resigned. The general then announced his candidacy, via television on a nationwide hookup for the governship of Texas in the Democratic primary. Anyone who watched the announcement will remember how nervous, jumpy, and edgy he appeared, and how incoherent his remarks were. He was defeated, running about last among more than half a dozen candidates. Then came the Mississippi fiasco. He again went on television, announcing that he was calling on volunteers to help those who were in rebellion against the authority of the United States. He showed up alone, and actually tried to lead a charge against the marshals and military, a charge in which several people were injured and several killed. He was arrested, and ordered sent to a hospital for mental examination. There can be little doubt that Gen. Walker is either a mental case, or on the border of becoming one. In fact, it is carrying individual rights just about as far as you can to allow him to be at large, without a few guards around to slip him into a straight jacket when he again becomes violent. The next lives he takes may be those of your sons. Editorial Writer Today Dick D. Heller, Jr.

visions will be available in ASCS offices soon. Conservation reserve contracts covering 1,310,000 acres of land on approximately 1,900 farms expire at the end of this year. Officials pointed out that under the 1963 program, as under the conservation reserve program, farmers will be required to provide a cover which will protect the land from wind and water erdsion. Longer range aspects of the land use adjustment program are being developed and will be announced later. 1963 WOOL INCENTIVE PRICE ANNOUNCED: A shorn wool incentive price of 62 cents per pound has been announced for the period beginning next April. The incentive price is the same as for the first 8 years of the program. Beginning next April the marketing year under the wool program is being changed from an April 1 to March 31 period to a calendar year basis, in line with recommendations from producers. In making this transition, the 1963 marketing year will be a 9-month one — from April 1, 1963 through December 31, 1963. Beginning with January 1, 1964, the marketing year will be on a 12-month calen-

dar year basis. Payments to producers for the 1963 marketing year will follow the same methods employed for the current 1962 year. Shorn wool payments will be equal to a percentage of each producer’s cash returns from wool sales. The percentage will be that required to raise the national average price received by all producers fpr shorn wool up to the incentive price of 62 cents a pound. Support for pulled wool is provided by means of payments to producers who sell lambs that have never been shorn. The payments will be at a rate per hundredweight of live animals to compensate for wool on them on a basis comparable to the national average incentive payment per pou n d of shorn wool. With the marketing year ending December 31, payments for the 1963 year and later marketing years will be made beginning in April following the close of the year rather than beginning in July as in the past , Payments have been completed for the 1961 marketing year. Current marketing of wool and lamb (from April 1,1962 through March 31, 1963) may qualify for payments under the wool program for the

1062 marketing year. Evidence of sales must be presented, and an application filed at the local ASCS office to qualify for payments. Producers have until April 30, 1963 to file applications for payments. ACT ADVANCES ON WIDE SCALE: Farmers tn Adams county chalked up another good record in conservation projects encouraged by agricultural conservation program cost-sharing in 1961. ACP cost-sharing in Adam? county during the year boosted conservation of soil, water, and other natural resources on a total of 244 farms. Land in participting farms totaled 26,770 acres in 1961. Approximately the same number of farms participated in the program in 1960. The most popular ACP practices in this county are open and enclosed drainage and limestone. Extent of practices completed in 1961 — 1,510 acres drained by enclosed drainage; 1,108 acres drained by open drainage and 2,812 tons of limestone were spread on 889 acres of conserving crops; 4 livestock reserviors were constructed. Nationally, conservation of soil, water, grass, woods and wildlife was advanced with the aid of agricultural conservation program cost-sharing on 1,216,298 farms and ranches in 1961. This was an increase of 10 per (cent over the similar number for 1960, Land in participating farms m 1961 was 433 million acres, 11 per cent more than in 1960. Further progress is being made
