1969 Voluntary Feed Grain Program Announced By Secretary Freeman:

A voluntary 1969 feed grain program virtually identical to that for 1968 was announced today by secretary of agriculture Orville L. Freeman. Signup will be conducted simultaneously for feed grains, cotton, and wheat from February 3 through March 21. Target for acreage diversion in 1569 is 37 million acres of corn, grain sorghum and barley. This compares to the 196? diversion of 32.4 million acres when barley was not included in the program. The 37 - million acre diversion targbt for next year is designed to produce a 1969 crop about three to five million tons below estimated requirements. Utilization is increasing because of greater domestic livestock production, and corn exports are exnected to show modest gains. Price - support loan and pay -nent levels for com and sorghum will be the same as in 1968. Producers may participate in the 1969 feed grain program by reducing their total base acreage bv at least 20 per cent. Additional acreage reduction is being encouraged by acreage diversion payments based on 45 per cent of the total county pricesupport loan and payment (U;S. average of $1.35 for corn), times the farm’s projected yield. “Exceptionally good crop wea-

her and improved cropping practices at home and abroad during the last two years has led to world - wide increases in grain production,” the secretary explained. “Hie 1963 feed grain program put a strong brake on soaring domestic production. “Despite the fact that com yields in 1967 and in 1963 were about 13 per cent greater than the preceding 1962-66 average, the acreage diversion programs for those two years kept carry-

over stocks near needed reserve levels. “Based on the December 19, 1968, croo report, production for 1968 will be about 163 million tons. Utilization for the 1968-69 marketing year currently is estimated at 169 million tons by October 1969, resulting in a slight reduction in stocks — to around 47 million tons. Through active participation in the 1969 program, farmers can realize further reduction of three to five million tons by the end of the 196970 marketing year. “Finally, I firmly believe the once - support loan program if fully utilized by producers, will substantially firm up market prices. If growers continue to use the price - support loan program for orderly marketing throughout the year as they now are doing, we can look forward to much progress,” the secretary concluded. Price - support loan levels under the 1969 program will be the same as in 1968 for corn, $1.05 per bushel; sorghum, $1.61 per hundred weight; oats, 63 cents per bushel; and rye, $1.02 per bushel. Barley will be 83 cents per bushel instead of 90 cents as in 1963 because it now is eligible for price - support payment. These price - support payments will be unchanged ah 30‘cents per bushel for corn and 53 cents per hundred weight for sorghum. Barley payment will be 20 cents per bushel. All price - support payments will be based on planted acreage up to one-half the farm base times projected yield. Key provisions of the 1969 feed grain program are: 1. Required acreage diversion to conserving use to qualify for price support loans and payments is continued at 20 per cent of a farmer’s base acreage of

corn, sorghum, and barley. No diversion payments will be made for this minimum diversion, except for small base farms — the same as in 1966-68. 2. Additional acreage diversion will be possible up to a total of 50 per cent of the base or 25 acres, whichever is larger, the same as in 1968. The acreage diversion payment rate will be at 45 per cent of he total price support times the projected yield. 3. As in 1966-68 a farm with a base of 25 acres or less will get payment on the first 20 per cent acreage diversion at 20 per cent of the total support rate times yield, and at the regular 45 per cent payment rate on the remaining acreage diverted to a conserving use. Producers with feed grain base acreages up to 125 acres will have the option of temporarily reducing this base down to 25 acres and still be eligible for the small farm provision on condition that no corn, grain sorghum or barley will be planted for harvest on the farm and the 25 acres are diverted to conserving use. Soybeans planted in lieu of feed grains will not earn pricesupport payments. Substitution provisions relating to wheat and feed grain acreage will be continued. As announced August 11, 1968, barley is included in the 1969 feed grain program. Malting barley will not be exempted from these diversion reouirements. Determinations such as advance payments, the production of substitute crops on diverted acreage, and other details will be announced prior to signup time. Other participation requirements relating to maintaining conserving bases, compliance on other farms, and to complying with signup intentions remain unchanged from the 1968 program.
