Benefits of the 1963 feed grain program described
Bremer Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee outlines four advantages for growers who participate in the 1963 feed grain program. Participating farmers receive price support for corn grain sorghum and barley, guaranteed income from diverted acres, a price support on established yields, and an optional advance portion of diversion payments at signup. Participants must divert at least 20 percent of their feed grain base acreage to conservation use, sign an intention to participate by March 22, and may request up to half of their estimated diversion payment as an advance, with the remainder paid by September 1 and final price-support payments made with the final diversion payment. The program adds a new price-support payment of 18 cents per bushel for corn, 16 cents for grain sorghum, and 14 cents for barley, calculated on diverted acreage. Participants also remain eligible for regular price-support loans and purchase agreements.
