TEN-The Heppner Gailie-Tlmes. Hrppner, Oregon. Thursday. October S. 19K0 Comment sought on feed grain, soybean programs Wliat goes jump, stretch and groan? Deputy Secretary of Agri culture Jim Williams has asked the public to comment by Oct. 27 on proposals for the 1981 feed grain and soybean programs. By Nov. 15. a decision must be made on whether to offer a set-aside program or to per mit farmers to be eligible for program benefits-including the reserve program-without setting aside acreage. Will iams saidr In particular, Williams said, USDA is seeking comments on reserve release and call prices which are based on production costs and adjusted either by increasing the national aver age loan price or increasing the gap between loan ' and reserve prices. . Under new authorities gran- ted under the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1980. the current cost of production estimates may be considered in determining 1981 target prices. In the past, changes in target prices were based upon a formula considering only prior year's costs, said Will iams. Because of these new authorities. Williams said. USDA is asking for comments on how 1981 target prices should be adjusted from 1980 levels and whether producers should be required to comply with established farm normal crop acreages to be eligible for full program benefits. v Williams said USDA also is asking whether barley and oats should be included in the 1981 feed grain program, and appropriate loan and purch ase prices for corn, sorghum, barley, oats and rye. In addition, public comment is requested on whether there should be a land diversion program, and if so, the size of the diversion and level of payment. Comments are also requested on limitations on planted acreage, Williams said. If a set-aside program is implemented. USDA has dis cretionary authority to adjust the target price to compensate producers for participating in such a program, according to Williams. Comments are re quested on whether this auth ority should be used and the magnitude on any adjustment. "Because of the relationship between soybeans and feed grains, we are also seeking public comments on approp riate loan price and purchase price levels for 1981 crop soybeans. Other determinat ions affecting soybeans in clude commodity eligibility, storage requirements and premiums and discounts," Williams said. Related to these program decisions are determinations on the amount of the national program acreage and recom mended reductions from 1980 harvested acreage for full target price protection. Williams said that while USDA is required bv law to announce set-aside, national program acreage and recom mended reductions in plant ings decisions by Nov. 15. the department may announce program decisions before that time. Before reaching any decis ions, all recommendations and views will be considered along with the best data available on world and U.S. crop conditions, production and consumption prospects.
