bushels) of barley, for an estimated
gross of SAT, 7O5. Had the LOGO acres
been put to wheat, total wheat produc-
ton would have amounted to %, 403
bushels figured at the 1855 actual yield.
This wheat would have brought at
least 81 on the market for gross of
$50, 816. The excess wheat on this farm
is estimated at 6,512 bushels $50 excess
acres multiplied by normal yield of
176 bushels). The cash penalty on
6,512 bushels would be 81 1853 SIS, leaving
an adjusted gross of SAC, 457. A This is
roughly 81, 76O more than the estimated
gross under compliance.
Compliance Cost $1,000
Art Beirwagon, a winter wheat farm
er near Iona in Chouteau County, had
a 541-acre allotment on 1000 acres of
cropland. He planted $40 acres of wheat
and 26O acres of barley. His wheat
yielded 35 bushels and his barley q.

GROSS INCOME

If Beirwagon had planted the entire
800 acres of wheat, a 35 bushel yield
would have given him $4,000 bushels.
He might have had to take dime less
for his wheat than the loan rate, but
he would still have had gross of $47,-
$780, His cash penalty based on a nor
NAL yield of II bushels would have been
$4,975. SO, leaving an adjusted gross of
$40, 9O4.61. This comes out about So, 700
better than the compliance alternative.
Delbert Nielsen, another Sheridan
County farmer had 41O-acre allotment
out of /, 425 acres of cropland. He har-
vested 40 acres of wheat at an average
yield of about 27 bushels and 1877 acres
of barley at a yield of As. In this case
the estimated gain from noncompliance
is small because of the high barley
yield in relation to the wheat yield.
The estimated non compliance gain is
$3.50, and probably was not worth the
risk involved.
While the farmers in these examples
gained or. could have gained from nom
compliance, this was not true of all
Montana wheat farmers this year. We
contacted two farmers who would have
lost money by going out of compliance.
Compliance Paid
One of these farmers has 568 acres

GENERAL RULES

In general, the farmers in these ex-
Noncompliance had high wheat yields
in relation to their normal. Their wheat
yields were also high in relation to bar
ley yields, and they got pretty good
price for wheat compared to the loan
rate.
Those who would have lost had low
wheat yields, both in relation to normal
and in relation to barley yields. And
had lower protein and consequently low
err priced wheat.
If it had happened, for instance, that
Nelson, the first example cited, had had
a low wheat yield, say Is bushels, and
the same barley yield that he actually
had, his adjusted gross income under
noncompliance would have been about
$28, 49, Under these same conditions
with compliance his gross would have
been about $28, 45O With these condi-
tons compliance would have been the
better deal This emphasizes that the
dCtudI WHEAT yIGluS, UOLIl III T0IdtlOfl W
normal and to barley yields, is an
consideration.
In these examples we assumed that
each farmer paid his penalty in cash.
Most farmers will probably satisfy the
penalty by storing the excess. And
there is a chance that they may be
able to avoid the penalty later on by
using their excess wheat to fill out
their quota in poor crop year.
1t looks like 1855 was a good year for
Montana wheat farmers to gain from
overseeding their allotment But we
conclude that 1856 will also
oe such a year. This is a problem that
reeds to be solved each year by each
armer in the light of the conditions
hat he expects (but doesn't know for
ure) will prevail at the time Some
ears it will pay some farmers to go
ut of compliance. But each farmer
