FURTHER CUTBACk of 12.7 per cent
in wheat acreage allotment for the 1855
crop and establishment of controls to
prevent the diverted 1877 per cent from
being planted to other than cover or
forage crops are announced by Secre-
tary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson.
The new cutback comes on top of
last years reduction of IL per cent
and is designed to reduce planted acre
age to SIS million, minimum under pres
ent law. Planted acreage limit last
year was e. million.
New controls involve cross-compli-
ance. That is, farmers will be required
to comply with federal planting allot-
ments for all crops for which aIlot-
ments are made in order to be eligible
for price support aid on any crop This
year, for instance, a farmer could COM
ply with his wheat allotment, ignore the
corn allotment and still get support
price for his wheat. Next year he will
/ have to comply with both corn and
wheat in order to get support aid for
either.
Benson also called for a grower refer
endum for July % to approve market
ing quotas to enforce planting goals.
This vote may have to be postponed
until Congress establishes what sup
ports will be so the farmer can know
what he is voting for. (See Washington
column, page 49,
Proposed control program involves
what is called total acreage allot-
ments." These are designed to keep
extra wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco, pea
nut and sugar crop land from being di-
verified to the production of excessive
supplies of other cash crops such as
soybeans, flaxseed, oats. rye, barley,
potatoes, drybeans and vegetables.
AS one analyst explains it, it would
work this way:
Suppose farmer has 100-acre farm
on which he usually plants so acres of
wheat, 20 acres of corn and the remain
ing 20 acres to soybeans, barley and
flax. Under regular allotments for in
dividual crops, he may find he'll get
support prices only if he plants 40 acres
of wheat and Is acres of corn and not
more than the 20 acres he has been
planting of the uncontrolled crops, soy
beans, barley, flax, etc. This unit OF
his planting might remain the same as
last year, as it is proposed to base such
allotments on 1858 acreage.
Thus his total allotment" would be
rs acres. If he exceeded that acre
age, he'd lose price supports for all
his crops. On the remaining Is acres
he could plant only such crops as hay
or pasture or he could let it lie idle
He might get some federal help OF
these as soil conservation practices.
Many small farmers would be exemp
from the total allotment law, as presen
proposal is to set minimum of 10 di
verted acres on farm before it woult
come under the law. A farmer witt
less than 10 diverted acres could plan
whatever he liked other than the basics
corn, cotton, wheat, peanuts and to
bacco.
Agreeing that these controls ar
