Questions on corn hog contract at Marion county training schools
Do contracts allow signing for corn or hogs alone. Generally no with exceptions. Hog producers with few 1982 33 letters may sign but not be eligible for hog reductions. 1932 38 letters under three make hog payments unlikely. If corn acreage averages ten or more and litters exceed three both reductions apply. Reducers may sign for over 30 percent of reductions in corn and 25 percent in hogs unless authorized by the secretary. Contracts require farm operation through 1934 and careful landlord tenant signing across sole land ownership.
