What payment viii he receive for
the land taken out of corn and put

Payment rates will vary from
farm to farm depending upon the
average corn yield of the county
in which the farmer lives. In New
Castle County average yield is 60.9
bushels; Kent County, SIS bushels;
Sussex County, $50 bushels. Also
influencing the payment will be the
productivity index assigned to each
farm and the number of acres

to take grain instead of cash, the
amount he receives will be figured
on the basis of local market price

What must q farmer do with the
acreage that he dlverts out of corn
This land must be handled in
one of these ways: ID permanent
type, or rotation cover of grasses
.or legumes; (2) temporary cover
of grasses, legums of small grains,
(3) ponds or other water storage;
(4) wildlife food or habitat plant
ings; f5) trees or shrubs: or 90
under certain conditions, the land
may be left to take volunteer nat
ural cover or summer fallow" If
the county committee so deter
mines. Weeds, insects and rodents
must also be controlled as deter
mined by the county committee.
A farmer must certify that the
diverted acreage put in conserving
uses is in addition to his acreage
of cropland devoted to conservation
uses in 1959-60.
In establishing a seeding, it is
permissible to use a nurse crop,
such as oats, and clip il. Or it
can just be left to fall over with
out clipping. Diverted land can be
seeded to wheat in the fall, but it
must not be pastured.
VIII the farmr who chooses to stay
out OF the program be elibibie for
price supports!
The farmer who does not sign
up with the feed grain program
will not be eligible for support
prices on any feed grain crop. But
he will still be eligible to get the
full support price for soybeans.
Can diverted acreage be pastured
or cut for Hay!
No, the land that is designated
on each farm as diverted acreage
can not be pastured after June 1,
nor can any hay crop be cut from
it. The Secretary of Agriculture
can, however, in case of drought
or other emergency. make excp-
tions to this rule OF course, other
land on the farm in cover crops.

Corporation. with the S145 billion
borrowing authority appropriated
by Congress.
Might a farmer build larger acre.
age base by staying out of the 1861
program!
Farmers who do not join the
program in 1861 should not expect
to build up their acreage bases for
future programs. The Department
will recommend to Congress thai
any future legislation involving
base acreages give no advantage
to producers who do not cooperate
in the 1861 program.
III a farmer has an interest In
