Major provisions f the 1972
ra-numm for wheat has been
announced by Secretary of
Agriculture Clifford M. Harain.
The Droaram provides for an
acrease let-aaide reaulrement
equal to 83 percent of the farm
domestic aaotmem me
minimum orovlded bv law. It
was further announced that the
program will again allow the
nibstitut ion of feed grain tor
wheat; that soybeans will be a
substitute crop next year, and
that harlev wlu be included in
th 172 feed orain oroaram.-No
jjmlt on wheat acreage wlU be
established ror vm.
"These changes In the 1972
programs," Secretary Hardin
said, "give the farmer greater
framlnm to nlant the com-
Lnditiei which will earn him the
best possible Income, without
losing program oeneiiu. oy
lannouncina these chanses at
this time, producers will have
the information iney neea io
make their planting pians tor
the 1972 croc."
There Is no cnange in ine
previously announced 1972
domeitic wheat allotment of 19.7
million acres or In the loan rate
of 11.25 per bushel national
average established for the 1971
crop. Farm-atored and
warahouaa-itorea loam ana
nurthaaei are available to
producers who participate In the
program.
The 1972 wneat sei-asiae
nereentaae la based on
nreliminary estimates ' of
acreage required for next year's
nroductlon to meet U. S.
domestic and export needs,
USDA officials said. It com
pares with the 1971 set-aside
rate of 75 percent of the farm's
allotment.
Under the substitution
provision,'; acreage devoted to
feed grain or soybeans will be
considered planted to wheat to
nravant ion or allotment.
Appaaoa davotad to wheat or
soybeans will be considered
K anted to reea gram to prevent
a of tha feed orain base. This
will enable a producer to plant
all or any comoinauon oi ni
acreage to wheat, teeo grain, or
soybeans without loss of plan
ting history or program
benefits.
i aa in thli year's program.
there la no provision regarding
excess wheat production In the

Sflvhaani have been included
as a substituted crop in 1972 in
view of the supply ouuook. mis
will also give the producer
additional planting options.
Wheat producers in iwz win
receive 100 percent of parity on
the nroductlon of their full
domestic allotment - the same
as this year. Face value of the
certificates will be the dif
ference between 100 percent of
partty on-Juiy i, ana in
national average wheat price
received bv farmers from July
through November 1972.
Under the current program,
the farmer mav plant as much
wheat or any other non-quota
crop as he wisnes auer ne nas

mnanrvlns base reouirements.
or he can choose not to plant any
wheat. Crops subject to quotas
in 1972 will be peanuts, rice,
tobacco, extra long staple
cotton, and sugarcane.
Producers are not required to
plant wheat to obtain cer
tificates. However, tenure to
plant or be considered to have
planted at least 90 percent of a
farm's 1972 domestic allotment
of either wheat, corn, grain
anpahnm. barlev. or soybeans
can result in a reduction In the
I07S allotment bv as much as 20
percent. If no wheat or sub
stitute Is planted for three
consecutive years, the entire
allotment can oe lost, ah
allotments removed from farms
will be reallocated to other
wheat farms.
Acraaoa which li not Planted
due to a drought, flood, or other
natural disaster or a condition
beyond the control or tne
producer will be considered
planted to wheat. Also, any
producer wno maxei a requircu
acreage set-aside but elects to
receive no payment will not lose
his allotment.
Proeanon of wheat for
domestic food uie will continue
to pay 75 cents per bushel
towards the domestic cer
tificates' value. Again in tne
1972-73 marketing year, no
export marketing certificates
will be issued.
As In 1971. producers may
graze set-aside acres except
during the five principal months
of the normal growing season.
but set-aside acreage must be
protected against erosion,
weeds, insect damage, ana
rnrfenti. In 1972 sweet sorghum
again may be planted on the set
aside acreage and grated except
during tne five montns oi tne
growing season. - - '

Social SecVirity
Administration
The key to prompt payment of
social security benefits on
retiring is early preparation. It
is not too early to begin
preparation now if you plsn to
file a claim for social security in
the next 12 months.
While processing a claim
requires only a short time,
sometimes a much longer period
is involved in obtaining
necessary evidence to support a
claim. By . beginning early the
uvHiirv evidence may be
IIVWM, -
assembled and the last minute
frantic effort avoided.
The types of proofs or
evidence depends on a number
of factors; for example, self
employed people will be asked to
present copies of prior year's
tax return; those working for
wages will be asked the amount
of earnings for the previous year
and to present a copy of W-2
forms showing the wages for
that year; orignal blrtn recoras
will be accepted as evidence of
age; If there are children who
can become entitled their birth
certificates will be needed.
Those who expect to file
claims in the next 12 months
should phone the social security
office and discuss the proofs that
will be required. They can have
ample time to assemble these
proofs and avoid a last minute
rush.
