Farmers urged to enroll in 1973 feed grain and wheat plans
Southern Illinois farmers may enroll in the 1973 feed grain and wheat programs until March 16 1973. Option A requires a 25 percent set aside with payments tied to base yields and specific per bushel rates, plus pasture allowances and potential rent back with a 30 percent payment cut. Option B waives set asides but uses a lower payment rate and requires acreage to match 1973 planted levels with a price support loan available on all feed grain. Wheat has Basic and Additional plans with varying set asides and payment rules, measurement service is available for a fee, and ASCS offices can provide details.
