Urge Farmers to Vote December 11 Referendum on Corn Plans

Farmers in Plymouth County are urged to vote on December 11 in a referendum to decide between the Soil Bank Corn Base Acreage Program and the Acreage Allotment Program. The outcome will set the national corn base at 61 million acres if the Soil Bank option wins, with price supports tied to within the base. If the allotment option wins by one third of votes or more, a 37.3 million acre allotment is created and a different loan rate applies. Voting does not commit a producer to plant within an allotment.
