Freeman Announces Plans for 1968 Feed Grain Diversion
Secretary Orville Freeman outlined a 1968 feed grain program allowing farmers to divert up to half of their base acres to conservation with payments on diversions between 20 and 50 percent. The plan aims to divert at least 30 million acres to reduce surpluses and boost farm prices, with higher payments for most farms due to increased yields and a raised price support level.
