Corn Loan Tied to Farm Plan Under AAA Guidance
Secretary Wallace explains how the Agricultural Adjustment Act links the corn loan to the corn plan. Acreage adjustment is Step One, the loan is Step Two. Loans have existed since 1933 and are secured by corn stored on farms, with rates influenced by supply. 1938 loans likely at least 57 cents per bushel to curb surplus.

Wheat Acreage Defined By AAA For 739 Program
Marion County farmers in the 1939 AAA program must keep wheat plantings within their acreage allotments. Definitions cover land seeded to wheat on or after December 15, 1938, volunteer wheat through May 1, 1939, and mixed crops where wheat did not mature. Stabilizing prices and potential conservation and parity payments depend on compliance.
