ASCS releases provisions for 1985 wheat program According to Thomas L. Riddick, County Executive Director, Secretary of Agriculture John R. Block has announced provisions of the 1985 wheat program, including a 20 percent acreage reduction and a 10 percent paid land diversion. Signup for the program will be October 15 through March 1. The cash land diversion payment will be $2.70 per bushel with 50 percent available at signup. The program also includes a $3.30 per bushel national average loan rate and a $4.38 per bushel target price. To be eligible for program benefits, producers must limit 1985 wheat acreage to no more than 70 percent of the farm's wheat base. They must also dedicate a certain amount of their eligible cropland to an acreage conservation reserve. The amount to be placed in this reserve must be equal to at least 42.86 percent of the farm's 1985 planted wheat acreage. Land designated for an acreage conservation reserve must have been devoted to a row crop or small grains in two of the last three years except for a summer fallow farm. The summer fallow rules will be the same as those in effect for the 1984 programs. Those rules provide that the acreage must have been devoted to row crops or small grains in one of the last two crop years. Haying will not be permitted on acreage conservation reserve land. However, the acreage may be grazed except during the six principal growing months as designated by ASCS officials. The six principal growing months as designed in Perquimans County are April through September. Block also approved a standby measure authorizing, in the event of a natural disaster, implementation of emergeycy haying and grazing privileges. Approval of the emergency privileges would be made as needed on a county by-county bases. Offsetting and cross compliance will not apply to the 1985 wheat program. USDA intends to review the size of the farmer-owned reserve before regular price support loans for the 1985 crop reach maturity. At that time, it will be determined whether entry into the reserve will be permitted. Programs contracts signed by participants will be binding and will provide for liquidated damages for failure to comply with program requirements.
