1935 corn hog contract shifts yield basis for payments
The 1935 contract changes the payment basis to the estimated corn yield for all land that was in corn at least once from 1930 to 1934. The yield is viewed against the 1924–33 ten year average. Payments total 35 cents per bushel, minus county costs, split in two, with reductions of 10 to 30 percent based on how much 1935 corn land falls below the 1932–33 average.
