DPIA Scholarships
Awarded u. ID. Students

Two students at the University
of Delaware are winners of the
seventh annual Delaware Poultry
Improvement Association $500
scholarship, as announced by the
DPIA awards committee and the
School of Agriculture.
Kenneth Williamson, Greenwood
and Rowland L. Hearn, of Laurel
are both majoring in poultry at
the University. The scholarships
are given to residents of the state
who are majoring in poultry and
have good scholastic standing.
Williamson, a junior, lives on a
poultry farm with his parents,
two brothers, and a sister. He
was an active FLA and All men,
ber before coming to college.
Last year he was state co-winner
of the National Junior Vegetable
Growers contest. This entitled him
to trip to Cleveland to compete
with winners from other states.
At the University he is a member
of the University All Club.
Hearn, a senior, is a member
of Alpha zeta, the honorary agri-
cultural fraternity. He was also
active in All and FLA activities.
In 1850 he placed second in the

To Comply or MOI to Comply
Acreage Allotments
By MAURICE C. TAYLOR
associate Professor, Agricultural Economics
Montana State College

You will notice by the examples in
the schedule on this page that you may
or may not have excess wheat even
though you have exceeded your acreage
allotment If your actual yield is below
normal Example 81, you may have
little or no excess wheat And since the
excess, if any, derives from the normal
yield and excess acres, the amount of
excess wheat does not increase as the
actual yield increases over the normal.
Three Choices
What can you do with your excess
wheat? You may do one of three
things:
1. You can pay the penalty of
about SLIP per bushel CAS- per cent of
parity as of May u.
2. You may store the excess in either
commercial storage or on the farm.
8. Or you may deliver the excess
wheat to the Secretary of Agriculture.
If you store the excess wheat COM
mercially the warehouse receipt must
be turned over to county committees If
you store it on the farm you must be
bonded at the rate of SLIP per bushel
or deposit a like amount with the Sec
rotary of Agriculture After you have
either stored your excess wheat or
paid the penalty, you will be issued
quota card which permits you to sell
the remainder of your wheat on the
open market. If you wish you may
store part of the excess and pay the
penalty on part. Any combination of
these methods may be used.
1t should also be pointed out that
if you have below normal yield in
marketing quota year, and have
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-10-15

excess wheat from previous years, you
may use such excess wheat to meet
your quota. Take example above.
In this case you could market 1900
bushels, but you produce only 1850
bushels. This means that you could
market up to $50 bushels of excess from
previous years.
Also remember that if marketing
quotas are removed in the future, you
may sell your excess wheat without PEN
atty.
Plant First, Decide Later
Should you stay within your acreage
allotment? You don't have to make
the decision at seeding time The winter
wheat producer can overseed in the
fall and wait until late spring or early
summer to get in compliance. Last
year, the compliance date for Montana
came during the first part of July.
This arrangement has two advant-
ages. First, 1t permits the farmer to
look at yield prospects by fields and
destroy low yielding acres. Or if yield
and price prospects look good in the
spring, the farmer may decide to stay
out of compliance. The spring wheat
producer has the same advantage
between seeding time and the compli-
ance date.
Aside from this flexibiIity advantage,
whether you will want to exceed your
acreage allotment will depend on how
you appraise the five points mentioned
at the beginning of this article. Certain
ly you should have some storage space
available before you take this non
compliance step. This will permit you
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-10-15

to decide later whether to pay the
penalty or store your excess wheat.
Offset Low Yields
If your yield varies quite a bit from
year to year you may be able to use
excess wheat in one year to offset
low yields in subsequent years. If your
yields are fairly stable, this would
be less of an advantage.
If you can expect to produce high
protein wheat and you think premiums
may be high. you may be able to
dispose of your wheat in the open
market at price as good as the
support price Some farmers this year
have been able to sell their premium
wheat at prices above the loan level.
Since those who exceeded their acre
age allotments cannot get price
support loan, the expected market price
at harvest time is extremely important.
Finally, since the total allotment re-
strictionS have been removed, you may
plant certain other cash crops BARLEY,
grain Sorghums, 1axseed, etc. without
losing your price support on wheat.
Whether you will want to use your
excess acres for wheat or other cash
grains will depend on the yield and
price relationship between wheat and
the alternative cash chop.
Close Figuring
AS in all economic endeavors, there
are hazards involved in noncompliance.
So be sure to do some close figuring
before you decide. Needless to say, if
large proportion of farmers ignore
the acreage allotmentS, the market
price of wheat may fall so as to make
noncompliance bad deal. But as an
individual you may want to consider
the points discussed here and take a
chance.
AS an afterthought, you may also be
interested in the fact that wheat penal
ties paid to the government may be
deducted from gross income for tax
purposes. This may serve to make the
effective penalty somewhat less than
the SLIP figure used here.
We also might mention that if farmers
in general take advantage of the leni-
ency of the present program, one of
two things is apt to happen. Either
the price support-production control pro-
gram will collapse or the rules and
regulations for its operation will have
to be frightened.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-10-15

MANY FARMERS are probably WON
dering whether to comply with their
wheat acreage allotments in 1855. Will
it pay a farmer to exceed his allot-
ment? Circumstances vary so much
between and among individuals that
there is no stock answer to this question.
But you should give the matter lot
of thought before deciding one way or
the other.
Here are some of the things you
should consider in making this de-
cision:
1. Do you have storage space avail
able?
2. How much do your yields vary
from year to year?
s. What can you figure ON protein
premiums?
A. what do you expect the open
market price of wheat to be?
S. What yields and prices can you ex-
pect on other crops planted on diverted
acres?
If you exceed your acreage allotment
you lose your price support on all
the wheat you produce. You also be-
come ineligible for agricultural con-
servation payments. If you stay within
your acreage allotment, the amount
of wheat you may market is the amount
you produce. If you exceed your allot-
ment, your marketing excess is based
on your normal yield. Your normal"
yield for purposes Of 1855 quotas is
your average yield for the years 1916
54, or an appraised average for that
period if the data on your particular
farm are not available.
How Quotas Are Figured
Here is how the marketing quotas are
figured. Suppose your normal yield is
Is bushels per acre, and that your allot-
ment is 100 acres. Suppose further that
you exceed your allotment, and harvest
125 acres in 1855 If your actual yield is
20 bushels per acre, your total produc-
ton is $500 bushels
Your excess wheat is equal to your
excess acreage multiplied by your
normal yield, except that the excess
can be no greater than the difference
between your actual production and
your allotted acres multiplied by your
normal yield. In this example, you
would have $500 bushels in total, and
375 bushels would be excess. This would
leave marketing quota of 2, 125 bushels.
