Farmers face hard acreage cuts under new farm program
In Washington I describe ninth district farmers receiving acreage allotment cards from the local soil conservation committee. Some cuts seem so severe that compliance may be impossible. Appeals are available within fifteen days, but few farmers pursue them. The choice to join the program or stay out is up to the farmers. If quotas are used, they hinge on a farmers vote. If turnout is low, there may be no crop loans and prices could fall. Third party efforts gain little traction, while farm security loans show promise, aiding displaced farmers with modest loans and new starts.
