Farm Program Set-Asides Established Farmers who choose to participate in the 1971 farm programs will have an acreage set-aside in each program they sign up for— 20 per cent of their feed grain base, and 75 per cent of their wheat allotment. These set-aside percentages, which were announced as tentative prior to the special January survey of farmers’ planting intentions, have now been established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, according to Scott Horn, chairman of the Kosciusko County Agricultural Stablization and Conservation (ASC) committee. Under the new farm programs, participants will make their set-asides, maintain their farms’ conserving bases, and be free to use the rest of their cropland as they choose, except for crops under marketing quotas or other controls — peanuts, rice, tobacco, extra long staple cotton, and sugar cane. The ASC committee chairman pointed out that in this respect the set-aside farm programs are quite different from any previous farm programs. “For the first time, the allotments and bases for a farm do not dictate to a farmer the number of acres he is allowed to plant to a specific crop. Allotments and bases are used to figure the set-aside acreages and price-support payments, not to limit production of any one crop." Horn said. The set-aside principle is based on the fact that U.S. farmers are able to produce more farm products than the market will absorb at good prices. By using set-aside acreage to limit overproduction generally, the programs leave individual farmers free to grow the crops which give them the most net profit. Crop-by-crop acreage restrictions are no longer in effect for wheat and feed grains. Sign-up for the feed grain, wheat and cotton programs opens March 1 and continues through April 9 at ASCS county offices. Notification of farm allotments and bases has been mailed to producers The set-aside acreage is required only for the program or programs in which a farmer wishes to participate. For instance. a farmer with both a wheat allotment and feed grain base may choose to participate in only one program. The 20 per cent set-aside requirements for feed grain establishes a preliminary payment of 32 cents per bushel for corn, times the yield established for the farm times one-half the corn base. Participants in the feed grain program will be guaranteed a national average of $1.35 a bushel on production from half their corn base. . Payments to participating feed grain producers will begin as soon as possible after July 1. The certificate payment for wheat will depend on the July parity price for wheat and the national average market price received during the first five months of the marketing year. The loan level for wheat will be $125 a bushel, national average Producers will receive preliminary payments equal to 75 per cent of the estimated face value of the certificate soon after July 1. The remainder will be paid after December 1 Wind.
