Des Moines reports Iowa farmers will vote on December 11 to decide whether soil bank base acreages or corn acreage allotments will govern the 1957 crop. Eligible voters are corn producers in 894 counties across 24 states designated as commercial corn producing areas. Two-thirds voting for base acreage means continuation, while a majority for allotments ends the other plan. Voting details and information will be issued by county ASC offices and through mail, newspapers, and radio.
The notice explains how soil bank payments for 1957 follow the base acreage plan and compares it with the old allotment. It covers eligibility, county by county rates of 85 to 90 cents in Iowa, and that final price support depends on whether base acreage or allotments are in effect, with annual determinations within 75 to 90 percent of parity.
