ASCS programs seen as price-boost tool for farmers
Wisconsin state ASCS chairman Ken Lindquist from Marengo argues farmers should join Grain Reserve and feed grain set aside programs this season to reduce surpluses and stabilize prices. He says combining the programs can lift prices, cut acreage, return cropland to grass, and give farmers control of their destiny, while criticizing past policy. Lindquist notes erosion and ACP concerns, and confirms upcoming county meetings March 20 week with the state committee to discuss farmer engagement and ASCS contact.
