The 104 page Pennsylvania Agriculture Report shows 1965 cash receipts at a new high, milk delivering 40 percent of farm income, poultry and eggs at 143 million, and record yields for wheat barley and rye. It notes a drop from 170 000 farms in 1946 to 82 000 in 1966 with net farm acreage down about 20 percent.
The ASCS notes 235,488 acres of feed grains affected by corn land diversion and CAP allocations. It identifies 23,059 farms signed up for the diversion plan with benefits in 1966 including diversion and price support payments, wheat certificates, and price-support loans.
The 1966 CAP extends a final filing deadline of May 13 to participate while 14 745 acres in the state have been scheduled for diversion under long term CAP. Adjustment payments are offered for diverting leases or allotments and cost share conservation payments promote shifting land from crop production to a conserving use.
