1961 feed grain program outlined by Lancaster County ASC
Lancaster County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee Chair Louis G Becker explained the 1961 feed grain program allowing cooperatives to set a permitted acreage for corn sorghum and other feed grains. Farmers divert at least 20 percent of their farm base to conservation use to receive payments and price support, with additional diversions possible up to a farm maximum based on base size. Applications begin after April 17 as payment rates are established.
