Set-Aside Key to Plan Under Farm Programs
AP Farm Writer Don Kendall reports that USDA policymakers seek to gauge if the 1972 set-aside program will curb feed grain and wheat output. A progress update on farmer signups through March 2 will reveal land enrolled, with a March 10 deadline.

Wheat signups lagged, with under 1.6 million acres enrolled in the paid diversion and supplementary set-aside.
