Corn Referendum Will Be Held November 25
Corn producers will vote in a special referendum on Tuesday November 25 to decide if the national farm program for corn should change. The vote, in 932 counties across 26 states including Iowa, covers two options: no allotments with universal price supports at 90 percent of the three year average or near parity, or continuation of the current program with 75 to 90 percent parity supports and a likely 15 percent cut in the national corn allotment. Chairman Joe A. Lynch notes voting eligibility and polling places will be announced later.
