30 Acre Wheat for Feed on Farm
Program Explained by USDA
The U S Department of Agri
culture has outlined general pro
visions of recent legislation per
mitting farmers whose wheat
acreage allotment is less than 30
acres to grow up to 30 acres of
wheat for use exclusively on the
farm where produced. The new
provision will apply only to 1958
and future crops and does not
apply to the 1957 and prior wheat
crops.
Another provision contained in
this law provides that no acreage
seeded to wheat for harvest as
grain m 1958 or thereafter in ex
cess of the wheat acreage allot
ment on any farm, regardless of
the size of the wheat allotment,
shall be considered in establish
ing future States, county, or farm
acreage allotments.
The revision in farm law relat
ing to acreage allotments and
marketing quotas ‘will enable a
livestock and poultry producer
Who has a small allotment or no
allotment to increase his wheat
production in 1958 and thereafter
and not be liable for marketing
quota penalties.
A number of limitations are
placed on the production and use
of wheat under the new provision.
Producers, to be eligible to grow
up to the 30 acres without pen
alty, for the 1958 crop, must sign
an application prior to planting
time on the farm, or Oct. 15,1957,
Whichever is later, and the appli
cation must be approved by the
county Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation committees.
These applications are available
in ASC county offices.
The application, which will set
forth the conditions of the pro
gram, must show the intended dis
position of the wheat. An applica
tion may be cancelled at any time
at the producer’s request but mar
keting quota piovisions will then
apply-
If the producer signs up for the
feed wheat exemption provision,
under the law the entire crop of
wheat must be used on the farm
where produced for seed, human,
food, •or livestock and poultry
feed. Not more than 30 acres of
wheat may be grown on the farm,
and none of the wheat may be
sold, bartered, or exchanged, nor
Will it be eligible for price sup
port.
The livestock or poultry fed
Jriust be owned by the producer,
or subsequent owner or operator

of thme farm It may not be re
moved to another farm for any
purpose.
If the wheat is to be ground
into feed or flour at a mill, all of
the proceeed product and by
products must be returned to the
farm The producer may not pay
for the seivice of grinding by giv
ing the by-products or any of the
grain to the mill.
The 30-acre limit does not apply
to farms operated by and as a
part of State or county institu
tions or religious or charitable in
stitutions, provided an application
has been signed. However, the use
restrictions apply fully to these
organizations.
Nq marketings card will be is
sued for farms covered by the
feed wheat exemption provision
since none of the wheat from such
farms may be sold. If the condi
tions on which the exemption is
granted are violated the exemp
tion becomes null and void and
the producer will be subject to
penalties under wheat marketing
quota regulations.
Producers who participate in this
program must maintain adequate
records of the disposition of *he
crop of wheat produced on the
farm and of any other wheat ac
quired and used on the farm. A
disposition report of the 1958
crop must be filed with the coun
ty ASC office not later than Sep
tember 1, 1959.
Producers who participate in
this program for the 1958 crop of
wheat will not be eligible to vote
in a referendum on 1959 wheat
marketing quotas, if quotas are
proclaimed.
The provision in effect under
past programs permitting pro
ducers to market wheat without
penalty where harvestings are 15
acres or less regardless of the!
size of the wheat allotment will
still be available to producers on
farms which are not participating
in the feed wheat exemption pro
visions. However, any producer
who elects to participate in the
feed wheat exemption provision
of the program will not be eligi
ble to market any of his wheat,
and the 15-acre provision will not
apply to the farm.
The exemption relating to the
feed wheat provision is not auto
matic and only those producers,
who execute a proper application
by the final signup date and such
