Farmer regrets minimal as PIK helps drought hit corn
Thomas County farmer Kenneth Frahm says joining the 1983 payment in kind program was prudent after a drought trimmed irrigated corn yields to under 80 bushels an acre in spots. GAO data show Frahm and his brother received 18 432 and 22 531 bushels of PIK wheat valued at 71 993 and 88 003 respectively, with wheat payments totaling 5 million across 42 large Kansas participants and overall PIK costs estimated at 10 to 11 billion dollars.
