ASCS announces a national average price support of 2.50 per bushel for the 1966 soybean crop, up from 2.25, to stabilize prices at harvest and encourage planting shifts from corn to soybeans. Growers may still receive the payment via loans or purchases, with related feed grain payments outlined.
Farmers must notify the ASCS county office of their chosen option for price-support loans on wheat and grain sorghums. Richard Sealey, ASCS County Committee chairman, notes notices were sent to affected farmers detailing options on loan maturity. Options include CCC delivery, loan payoff with interest, reseal for 1965 crop, or continuing reseal for 1964 and 1963 crops, subject to inspection. Storage rates for 1966-67 to be announced later.
The article urges farmers to adopt soil and water conservation plans to improve yields, reduce costs, and prevent erosion. It highlights benefits to landowners and communities, and invites readers to contact the Osceola Soil Conservation District office to start planning.
The measure adds the latest crops with price support loans maturing and notes that needs may be met without tapping resealed stocks. Reseal loans can be called at any time if growers indicate this option and officials will inspect crops once growers elect this choice.
