- J :J974 Feed; Grain Program Announced Amarillo, Texas, August 20 .. prevision which fives the Tha 1974 feed j grain .'Secretary discretionary : program provides producers' ; authority to limit feed grain ;-wKh the opportunity to expand and wheat to percentage of ! production, " Secretary of - Agriculture Earl U Buu said la announcing , program details today. .Thert will be no set-aside requirement and no restric tion on planting for the 197.4 crop program, and there will be no conserving base requirement for the 1974 through 1977 crop years, the duration of the Agriculture and Consumer Protection Act of 1973. Likewise, the allotments and upland cotton planted in excess of the base allotment will not be im plemented during the period 1974 through 1977. , Barley will be included in the feed grain program for the duration of the Act. The new legislation provides for establishing allotments for feed grains in the same fashion as for wheat. The allotment for 1974 is set at 89.0 million acres. The allotment for the f feed grains is ap proximately 68 percent of the - base acreage used in former feed 'grain programs. However, any payments will be paid oh the full allotment; whereas, previously payments were based on only 50 percent of the feed grain base. The feed grain allotment for 1974 does not represent a limit on acreage, but is computed only for the purpose of distribution of payments to producers, should payments be required. This allotment represents the number of acres, har vested for grain, of corn, grain sorghum, and barley based on the estimated national average yield, which would result in production equal to estimated domestic and ex port disappearance in the 1974-75 marketing year.. Should the average price received by farmers for corn, sorghum, or barley be below the statutory target price for the first months of the marketing year, the dif ference between the target price and the average price would be paid to eligible producers after the five months' period and there will be no preliminary payments. A producer, would be paid on an amount of bushels deter mined by multiplying the farm allotment times the projected yield established for the farm. The projected yield represents the potential production for . the farm as determined by the ASC County Committee. Target prices for 1974 are $1 .38 per bushel for corn, $1.31 per bushel for grain sorghum ($2.34 per cwt.) and $1.13 per bushel for barley. There are no target prices for oats and rye. The total amount of payments a person may receive under one or more of the 1974 feed grain, wheat, and upland cotton programs may not exceed $20,000. 'Producers may substitute any non-conserving crop or any conserving crop used for hay or for grazing in order to preserve their feed grain allotments and to make them eligible for any payments under the target price feature. Oops for which a marketing quota is in effect are excluded.

The length of time food will stay frozen depends on the amount of food in the freezer. A full freezer will stay cold many hours longer than a 'reezer only a quarter full. It also depends on the kind of food. A freezer full of meat will not warm up as fast as a freezer of baked food. The !-ngth of time food will stay frozen also depends on the temperature of the food. The colder the food, the longer it will stay frozen. The freezer itself is im portant. A well-insulated freezer will keep food frozen much longer than one with little insulation. The larger the freezer, the longer the food will stay frozen Second, if you have a lex'ker plant in your area, make advanced arrangements to take care of food during an emergency.

Your next best alternative is to add "dry ice" to the freezer to try to retain the cold. The more dry ice you use, the longer your food will remain frozen. Invest some time on the telephone, when you have no emergency, to find out where you can buy "dry ice" should you need it. If all else fails, break out the home canning equipment and cook the thawed food whatever ways your family may like it. Here, again, be sure you have the containers, lids, and other canning equipment on hand, and those canning recipes handy. Sometimes frozen foods are completely or partially thawed before you discover that your freezer is not run ning You may safely refreeze foods that have thawed if they contain ice crystals or if they are cold about 40 degrees F., provided they have been held at this temperature no longer than one or two days. But remember, use refrozen foods as soon as possible after the emergency US OA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service advises that you always examine meat or poultry before you decide what to do with it, because it may become unsafe to eat it it starts to spoil Get rid of the food if the color or odor of the thawed food is questionable.
