Remember grain plan provisions in 1966 diversions
Farmers enrolled in feed grain or wheat diversion programs must conserve acreage equal to their base plus the diverted land. Wheat program requires at least 15 percent of the 1966 allotment set aside. Feed grain bases over 25 acres divert 20 percent without payment. Noncompliance could forfeit most program payments and loans.
