Feed Grains Program 1964 Moves Only Slightly From 1963
The 1964 feed grain program mirrors 1963 with a higher diversion cap of 50 percent of base acreage and higher maximum payments. Producers diverting 40 to 50 percent receive 50 percent of normal yield payments on all diverted acres, with a 20 percent cap on value of diverted land. Signs point to similar national price support levels as 1963, with more support available through the program.
