1954 Corn Acreage Price Support Eligibility Rules
The text states that a producer’s eligibility for price support on 1954 corn depends on his share of overplanted versus underplanted acreage across all farms in the county where he has an interest. If overplanted acreage is equal to or greater than his share of underplanted acreage, price support applies only to farms not exceeding 1954 acreage. If his share of overplanted acreage exceeds his share of underplanted acreage, he loses eligibility for price support on all corn, even on farms where he complied with allotments. Compliance for other commodities is not required for the 1954 corn price support. Minimum price support rates on 1954 corn are referenced.
