Plymouth County Farm Bureau directors reviewed provisions of the Wheat and Feed Grains Act of 1967 at the August 1 meeting in Le Mars. President Richard Philips said the plan would raise farmers' net incomes through the market system and gradually remove government from a grain market, noting it was proposed by Midwest congressmen on the agriculture committee.
The proposal calls for ending present feed grain and wheat programs and CCC stock, replacing them with a recourse loan system where farmers keep control of crops and get government insured loans. It envisions financing aid for developing nations with direct payments redirected, and includes cropland adjustment expansion to absorb future farm needs.
Payments totaling 1 050 000 were mailed to Plymouth County farmers participating in the 1987 Feed Grain Programs. Producers earned about 2 000 000 in diversion and price support payments by diverting cropland to conservation uses and cutting feed grain production. Small bases of 25 acres or less received about 32 000 in diversion payments. The rest of the payments reflect price support for reduced feed grain output. Diversion covered 26 300 acres under the ASCS administered program aiming to align production with needs.
