Wheat farmers who parti cipate in the 1966 voluntary wheat program can expect a better return per bushel of wheat than in 1905, Griffin, points out.

Seventy feed grain producers signed to divert 906.8 acres and received ad vance payments in the amount of $16,144.93. The 1966 feed grain pro gram is similar to the 1965 projam, but there are some important changes. The mini mum acreage that can be di verted is 20% of the base, maximum 50% of the base or 25.0 acres, whichever is larger. For small farms with a base of 25.0 acres or less the first 20% diverted will be at the low rate for the farm, any additional diversion will be at the high rate for the Tarm. c -For farms with a base of more than 25.0 acres, there Ayill be no diversion pay ment for the first 20% di verted. All acreage diverted above 20% will be at the .high rate for the farm. Cotton producers may di vert at three levels, 12.5%, 25% or 35% of the regular allotment for the farm. Small cotton farms with an allotment of 3 6.0 acres or less or a projected yield of 3.600 pounds or less can qualify for price support payments on 65% of the al lotment and diversion pay ments on 35% of the allot ment without reducing the planted acreage. Jn all cases the small farmer and the large farmer must sign up in the program to qualify for diversion and price support | payments and for price sup port loans. If a producer fails to sign up during the sign-up period, he will not be eligible for any payments nor price support on the cotton.
