-SECTION ONE PAGE TWO r hi, i On Grain Program Stand to Forego Price Protection For Over Planting A word of advice to farmers from A. P. Hassell, Jr., execu tive director for 'the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation State Committee, “Don’t be mis led by non-farm commercial in terests on the relative merits of the 1962 Feed Grain Program.’’ According to Hassell there are some .non-farm groups, who stand to make more money if farmers plant more corn and f->rego price . support protection, who are advising farmers in this statP against participation in the 1962 feed grain program. In crd?r to set the record straight, Kassel! spells out the following r; almost inevitable results of widespread non-participation: With little or no participation in the 1962 feed grain program farmers could plant as much corn and grain sorghum as they want to —but at the same time ' they would forego all price pro tection under Commodity Credit Corporation price support pro grams. This is true not only on corn and grain sorghums, but also on oats and rye. What would this upsurge in production do? According to of ficial figures of the Federal- State Crop Reporting Service, in 1960, before the feed grain pro gram was authorized by the Congress in 1861, and when price support was available to all with no limit on production, the average price for corn in this state for the season was sl.l G. However, at harvest and for some time thereafter, prices in this state remained between 85 and 60 cents per bushel. With this 85-90 cent price at harvest non-cooperating farmers would have no price protection at all through price support pro grams. Individual farmers would have no bargaining power. Lo cal supplies of corn and some feed grains are temporarily short, nationally there are still adequate supplies. As compared with the above results of non-participation, Has sell gave the following as re sults of widespread participation in this state and throughout the nation: Diversion of 20 per cent on more, of the nation’s production of carp and grain sorghum to conserving uses . . . Substantial saviriAs in government costs for storage of surpluses of these grains- An immediate payment to participating farmers which, when added to the final pay ment,' will offset the loss of in come due to reduced plantings. I In addition to the reduced plantings, the first reduction in 1 stored stocks of feed grains in nine years was made, thereby greatly reducing storage costs of taxpayers.
