Grain producers eligible for loans "All corn, sorghum and barley producers will be eligible for target price pro tection and price support loans on their 1980 feed grain." Judy Buschke, execu tive director of the county agricultural stabilization and conservation service office, said. "There are no set-aside or diversion requirements for 1980 feed grain crops. "However, to qualify for full target price protection and deficiency payments, farmers cannot plant more corn, sorghum or barley in 1980 than the total acreage considered planted and set aside from these crops in 1978," she explained. "Farmers who ex ceed this acreage will be subject to an allocation factor that can reduce any target price payment by upto 20 percent." Preliminary target price ranges will be announced by March 15, according to Mrs. Buschke. The 1980 target prices are currently estimated at $2.08 per busliel for corn, $2.46 for sorghum and $2.35 for barley. An ASCS official said 1980 feed grain and soybean loan levels will be at least as high as those in effect for 1979 crops. Those rates are: $2 per bushel for corn, $1.90 for sorghum, $1.63 for barley, $1.03 for oats. $1.70for rye and $4.50 for soybeans. National program acreages were announced at 82.1 million acres for corn. 13.9 million acres for sorghum and 7.9 million acres for barley.
