REQUIRE SoyDean Pro ducers To Maintain
1959-60 Acreage To Qualify For Support

Soybean producers will b5
required to maintain their 19-
$500 average of conserving
and idle land on the farm in
1861 in order to be eligible fol-
1861 price support on their
soybean crop, Lynn Jordan,
Chairman of the Holmes Agri-
cultural Sterilization and Con-
servation County Committee,
said today.
Farmers are urged to avoid
increasing soybean acreage at
the expense of acreage now
under conservation practices.
The requirement under the
1861 soybean price support
program, therefore, seeks to
insure that any additional soy
bean production mill be on
acreage that has heen used
for crops in abundant supply
rather than from land now in
conserving uses or idle land.
Price support on the 1861
sOybean crop has been increas-
ed to insure an adeqate supply
and to help meet anticipated
needs for this important oil
crop. The national average
support price for 1961-crop
will be $3.50 per bushel The
support for the 1861 crop of
soybeans was $1.85 per bu-
shell.
While the soybean price
support provision and the feed
grain program both seek to
encourage conservation and
reduce the planting of crops
which are in abundant supply,
the soybean price support
operates Independently Of the
feed grain program. Farmers
may not plant soybeans on
corn or grain sorghum acre
age on which a diversion pay
ment is earned under the 1861
feed grain program. Likewise,
they may qualify for price sup
port on their 1861 soybean
crop by meeting the price sup
port conditions Of eligibility
and without participating in
the 1861 feed grain program.
Holmes County herald., 1961-05-04

grain sorghum producers who
divert acreage from the 1861
production of these crops to a
Soil-conserving use. While the
program is voluntary, farm
ers who grow corn and grain
sorghum must cooperate by
diverting at least a minimum
acreage in order to be elig-
ible for price support on the
normal production of their
