Few Violations Expected in AAA Check-Up of Corn
Marion county farms part of the AAA corn hog program undergo a wide field check to ensure fair dealing. Roger C Young notes 27 000 acres measured from July 5 to about July 20 while field supervisors coordinate with the state director of compliance at the University of Illinois. Measured accuracy remains a priority to allow excess corn acreage to shift to other crops and to prepare hog payment plans of seven dollars fifty cents per head, with final corn and hog payments issued together.
