Provisions Strengthen Set-Aside Land Rules For 1973
The USDA announced higher per acre payment deductions for below average quality set aside land in the 1973 wheat and feed grain programs. Montana official Joel Antrim said deductions will apply against total payment base acres, not just set aside acres, a change aimed at preventing exploitation where poor quality land is set aside to gain monetary advantage. The move follows a 1971-72 study showing few producers affected, with most participants already using quality set-aside land.
