Q A A Question Box on 1938 AAA program benefits
A farmer cooperating in the 1938 AAA program receives: (1) fixed payments for crop adjustment, (2) payments for conserving and improving soil fertility, and (3) eligibility to obtain a federal corn loan. County allotments are set by estimating national needs, adding an emergency reserve, subtracting carryover, and allocating remaining acreage to commercial corn areas then to states and counties by past planting, with adjustments for weather, trends, and program participation. Individual farm allotments derive from tillable acres, crop rotation, soil type and topography, balanced with a soil management report and past plantings. Overcropping areas face larger reductions to curb surpluses. those not overcropping still share in price-support benefits.

Iowa State College crops expert H. D. Hughes advises farmers to delay cutting oats wheat and barley to maximize yield. Experiments at the Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station Ames show little plant food transfer after cutting and up to ten percent more grain can be obtained by letting grain mature longer. Combines force earlier harvests than binders, risking loss from storms. harvest timing should balance maturation with weather.
