Economist predicts no PIK in 1984
Dr John Marten of Farm Journal spoke at PCA meetings in River Falls and Independence last spring predicting no payment in kind or paid diversion for 1984. He said 1983 corn may yield about 102 bushels per acre and 5.3 to 5.4 billion bushels produced if 1980 conditions return. He warned of a $40 million repayment to the Treasury and limited non paid acreage reductions, with policy likely shifting away from government programs in 1985 and beyond.
