generally be set 10 "per cent
higher than the rate for- only

After Uie basic rate has been
determined, the farmer .may ap
ply for- a contract at any figure
below the basic rate established
for the land offered in the re
quest for rates. If necessary, a
priority system will be used . to
determine which offers- are ac
