Federal farm program optimism clashes with grain market doubts
Officials presented a fact sheet at a Long Branch meeting in which 21 Iowa counties heard that the new acreage reduction plan could lift grain prices by 5 to 10 percent. Warner Walrath of Tipton cited past programs that boosted prices and said participation levels could reach 35 to 45 percent, though traders expect 30 percent. Farmers can sign up until April 16, with flexibility on signups for multiple farms and storage constraints.
