Alter Rule in Crop Program for Small Wheat Farms
Relaxation of the 1939 Agricultural Conservation program rules allows farms with eight acres or less of wheat to harvest up to eight acres for grain or hay without deductions from other payments. Wheat planted beyond eight acres for wheat will forfeit conservation payments and lose eligibility for wheat price adjustments. Wheat mixtures for pastures must have less than 25 percent rye barley or vetch or less than 50 percent flax oats or other grains to avoid counting as wheat. Parrot ban tight Albany New York parrots may become rare in the United States due to psittacosis regulation prohibiting importation sale or breeding of all parrots and related birds.
