Price Support For •
'54 Corn Announced,
Program Handled By'
Commodity Credit
Corporation
The Department of Agriculture has
announced that minimum price sup
port rates for 1954-crop com in com
mercial and non-commercial com pro
during areas will be based on $1.62
per bushel, which is 90 per cent of
the February 15 com parity price,'
stated W. A. Harrell, chairman of the 1
Chowan County ASC Committee.
Price support rates in the commer
cial corn-producing area will reflect
the full 90 per cent level, but because
com acreage allotments are in ef
fect in the commercial areas in 1954,
the rates in the non-commercial pro
during area will be 75 per cent of the
rates determined on the basis of 9G
per cent of parity.
The price support program for the
1954 crop will be carried out through
Commodity Credit Corporation loans

and purchase agreements. These will

through May 31, 1955, in most areas
and will mature on July 31, 1955.
Rates by counties for price support
| loans and purchases will be announced
|at a later date. Under the 1953 pro-
Igram, county rates were based on a
national average support price of
$1.60 per bushel.
In announcing the basis for support
rates at this time, USDA is giving
producers an indication of com sup
port prices in advance of the planting
season in accordance with the “for
ward pricing” provisions of the Agri
cultural Act of 1949. The county sup
port rates to be announced later will
be revised upward if necessary to re
flect any increase in parity as of Oc
tober 1, 1954, which is the beginning
of the marketing year for 1954-crop
com.
To be eligible for com price sup
port in the commercial producing
area, producers must be in compli
ance with com acreage allotment. The
producer must plant within the acre
age allotment for the farm to be eli
gible for price support. If a pro
ducer’s share of the underplanted acre
age on all farms in the county in which
he has an interest in the com crop
equals or exceeds his share in the

overplanted com acreage on all such
farms, he will be eligible for price
support on any farm on which the
1954 com acreage allotment is not ex
ceeded. A producer will not be eli
gible for price support on a farm
planted within the acreage allotment
if his share of the overplanted com
acreage on all farms in the county
exceeds his share of the underplanted
acreage on such farms.
Allotments for the 1954 com crop
in the commercial area were an
nounced on January 20 on the basis of
com supply and consumption esti
mates.
The allotment calls for a decrease
of about 17.4 per cent from the acre
age planted in the commercial area
in 1953. A total of 25 counties is in
cluded in the commercial corn-produc
ing area in North Carolina.
