I; Page 6 THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD. KINGS MOUNTAIN. N. C. Thursday, February 4, 1971 New Farm Program: Questions And Answers For Area Farmers (*E3iiitors Note: The Agrifullluiral Aet of 1970 provides the basis for farm proi::irams on eotton, Wheat and fe. d grains. In a ro- icent article, Dr. Charles Pugh, extension economist at North Carolina State University, an swered questions on the con tents of the new program. This Week, Dr. Pugh answers tiuos- tions on the implications of the program in typical North Caro- 'lina situations.) Q—iMany farmers suffeix>d from corn leaf blight during 1970 and have increased their pl.intings of wlu'at or small grain in the fall of 1970 to re- hui'ici their titoi supp-li. s. Will this fall-smU*d small grain be counted as feed grains? A VVOi at can bi' substituted for feed grains for purpti«es of program participation. Parley will not consider d in the fe<v. grain program and may n.ot he used to pi\.ser\e tlunr allot ment or base history. Farmers I who subslanlially expanded fall* I seeded small grain may have a problem in participating in the : 1071 program if ftheir expansion r.f small '.:'rai'n did not leave ithem {nough land to eise in the , set-aside program next spring. I Furthermore, if farm.rs sce'.led barley in the fall of 1970 expect ing it would not 'be considered as ' f(H‘d grain for program purpos- I os, they may wish to double-crop with grain .sorghum in the late I sp-ring of 1971 in order to pres erve fe d grain history. Q—Aren’t there different ap proaches used in the 1970 Act compar.U to the programs used I during the 1980’s where farmers were paid ff>r the diversion of land from the pixKluction of specific crops? A-'Hero aro som: of the ma jor differences: 1. Th^ new program dws not offer specific diversion p-ayments. However, pric support pay ments are available only to far mer pant'icipating in the new program. 2. A farmer must plant cotton to got cotton progt'am payments. H^Avever, it is not n oeswary to plant ‘to get payments on feed I rains or wh at un'.ier ithe new program. 3. Under the previous prog rams, • '■armers may have desig- nat d certain fields as the diver ted acreage and kept these same I Xivlds out of production for sev eral years. A featnire of the new ' prograjn is that ill ' acreage set jasC.e by the participants must be cropland that has been har- ve.<t d in the last three years. However, there are <xceptions .to this reijuir ment when no crop haii’ h4'en harvested on the <n- .tire faiTTi within tin' last three ■years, Chei-k with ASCS if these oxc ptions are important in your case. This may mean that fields which have be n diverted under provious programs for seveml years may not b eligible to be ' considered in the sct-asilJe. ! 1. In g.neral, the new prog ram allows the farmer the free dom to plant whatever he choo- |si's on land romaining after the set-asid.' and conserving base. Q—^Does this new program di rectly affect ix'^anuts, tobacco and blh r quota crops? A No, the tobacco and pea nut program® stanij on their owTT. However, formers sliould r eogniioe that the se:-aside pro visions of the ‘ et'd grain, w'lieat and cotton program mean that some cropland must b- rolired from crop p-ic<ludli<)ri. In some oases, this may put some p-re®- sure on th total cropland avail- ab’e for remaiving crops, even ; allotted ereps. I Q -Suipas an allotment holl'- , or, who h.is essentially retiixxi, has dep mled upon payments • from proviou® voluntary diver- I sion programs for a significant portion of his income. What might si.ich a person do, if he is inU rosted in pro.serving his his- tor>' of allotments? A- If such a farmer doe® not have the equipm.nt to actively faiTn such pwperty on his own, he may wdsh to rent out 'the farm in order that the base his tory may lie p^.so^ve.^ Another option is to manage the crops with maximum use of custom machine hire. Unless someone a<r lively farms th ' base allotments, it would be necessary for the al lotment hold r to fon.eit prog ram payments to preserve the farm history.

J Loaves ☆ 1 acterizeu the ohamge in philoso 'phy ot the new program as Ix- I in-g one in which farmers are !not paid from governm-nt prog- I rams for not farming. 1 Suppose circumstances such as eciuipm.nt s'hortages or fear of repeated corn leaf blight mak.. -it difficult for a farmer to plant enough c<>m next spring tc^ proservo his fe d grain base? (A -The requiir.-d acreage might bt* planted to grain sor- phum. Q Does this type of proi^;iraim sugg.st that North Carolina or the South might, in the long run, I lose any of its relative share of th. national feed* grain base? A -Obviously, the result de pends upon the ext.nt to which farmers plant enough to piros- < iwe the base history. However, there ?s some reason to be con cerned on this point inasmuch as the program seems to be design ed to foster specialized types of agricultural production. For ex ample, there is no longer any penalty -assvssed against the fai'mer who wants to exceed his cotton allotment, if he is willing to rodiifce otlier crops. The far mer who do.s not find feed grains to be as profitable as o- ihor crops may well lose base histoi’y over time. In some parts of the United States, where feed grains are clearly among 'the moro profitable crops, every e.f- fort will be made to 'fully pres erve ''ced grain base historus. Q -What are the implications of loss of base or allotment jto road estaite values? A Under present provisions there is no means to transfer feed grain bases bet.vveen farms; thi rofoie, they ido not have any identifiable market v'alue unles^j 'the farm land on which they are located is sold. However, -in the case of cotton, allotments can be leased or sold. Under the lease or sale of cotton 'allotments, there ihave been small cash val- ai‘. s to the allotment. The release ami reapportionment program is rontinued with the 1971 cotton program. This feature may as sist in pr serving history. Q Isn’t loss of cotton allot ment history especially crucial in ar<*-as outsl'ie the prime pro duction areas? A Yes, particularly if farm- Cl'S do not ear.fully study the requliements for preserving his- sicnstoi’>*. For example, under previous cotton programs one could plant as little as on? tenth 1 of an aero eveiy three y^ars and I pros, rve his -.'ull allotment histo- } ry. This is no longer true under the now progr.am. Q What do s the program suggest with respect to potential expansion of siylx'ans? A Expansion of soyb ans b;* farmers wishing to participate in the program is simewhat limitcii beca.is.. soybeans cannot \ye sub- .stitiitr-d for feed grains, ^hirther- more, th minimum set-aside re- (luirements may reduro the re maining cropland for nonallotted cn>|)s such as .soyb ans. In sum mary. a sulistantial pari of the ansvwr on long-range incr('ia^9os in soybeans in such r gions of North Carolina and the South tests on how many i)ef)ple decide I to not protect their base histor- I ies lanL f<»rego program pay- I ments on fo d ^nain and wheat and plant their acroaige to other crops such as soyb. ans.
