One Million Apply For Corn Hog Contracts
Washington April 4 The AAA push to enlist farmers in its 1935 corn hog control program reached a new high with 1,000,000 farmers applying for participation. Applicants will sign contracts demanding a 19 percent cut below base in both corn acreage and hog litters. Final benefit payments will follow proof of compliance. Officials expect acreage reductions near the minimum 10 percent, with Nebraska withholding about 28 percent of base acreage. Reports from SS states to Claude Wickard show total participants this year about 155,000 fewer than last year, though overall corn acreage covered remains similar. Most applicants hail from the 14 corn belt states, with Iowa reporting 152,900 and Ohio 42,000.
