Farmers May Plant for Pasture or to Protect Land
Farmers may plant wheat to protect land and for pasture and hay while remaining eligible for price support on 1955 crops if excess acreage is disposed of before maturity. Marion County ASC chair Paul E Brown says this avoids the wheat marketing quota penalty and aligns with restrictions on over-planting to permit wheat use for pasture and hay.

Wheat planting limits tied to farm allotment rules
The chair and Iowa ASC outline excess wheat plantings must be used for hay or pasture and not mature into grain. Farmers will designate excess plantings and will be checked after a closing date to verify compliance under recent congressional law. Alaska has vast forests along its coasts.
