Kansas Farmers Analyze Wheat And Feed Grains Programs
Kansas farmers analyze wheat and feed grains programs for 1971, considering set-aside rules, history protection, and participation options. Changes allow continued protection for former Conservation Reserve contracts and specify planting requirements to maintain history, with diversions discontinued for 1971 and potential reinforcements for 1972 if oversupply occurs. Kansas expects gains as farmers outside the wheat belt may seize history, shifting benefits nationwide with cautious optimism.
