What About 1964 Wheat Program? Time is short for winter wheat producers to consider how their wheat plantings may affect their participation in the 1964 feed grain program. Many wheat farmers in the county are also feed grain pro ducers and as a result are eli gible to participate in the 1964 feed grain program by diverting feed prain acreage out of pro duction. Note the drop in 1964 wheat prices as reflected by the present wheat futures market. Currently, the judgement of the market Is a July, 1964 Kansas City wheat futures price of around $1.55 per bushel. This price, adjusted to a farm level, reflects a wheat price of about $1.25 to $1.30 per bushel. A 1964 crop in excess of current disappearance of about 1.3 bil lion bushels for domestic and export use will undoubtedly put heavy downward pressure on wheat prices, probably forcing prices down to a feed price level as the supply seeks a consump tion outlet. The 1964 feed grain program has been designed to reduce possible expansion of overall grain acreage. The program pro vides an effective guide for farm ers to follow in keeping their overall crop acreages in 1964 reasonably in line with expected needs. While the program provides flexibility in enabling farmers to shift acreages among crops not directlv under the feed grain maintaining soil -conserving program, it also provides for acreage, including summer fal low and idle land on participa ting farms at 1959-60 levels. This will tend to limit acreage ex pansion, particularly if sub stantial numbers of wheat-feed grain producers participate in the program. At the same time, payments for diverting feed grain acreage to a conserving use, price-support payments on the acreage seeded, and the availability of price sup port will help maintain income. An added incentive to keep over all grain acreage in check is the boost in the payments to be made for diversion of maximum Get a New Refrigerator-Freezer That's ENTIRELY FROST-FREE I YOU'LL NEVER NEED TO DEFROST AGAIN !

All farmers in Morrow county who intend to seed wheat this fall and who also plant feed grain are urged to look into the possibilities of participation in the 1964 feed grain program be fore they complete their seed ing plans. Even though the feed grain signup will not be until early next year, farmers who plan to participate will need to keep their fall-seeded acreage in line with total crop acreage permitted on their farms under the feed grain program.
