Corn Growers Advance Crop Cutback Plan
The Corn Growers Association proposes two land retirement options for wartime crop reduction. Plan One would restrict planting more than two thirds of total acreage to intensive crops like corn soybeans cotton and flax while the rest could be pastured or used for hay. Plan Two requires retiring 20 percent of acreage from production with the remaining 80 percent free to plant any crops under current controls, but no rental would be paid for retired land. Both plans need approval by 60 percent of farmers in a nationwide referendum.
