tinued in 1967, the U S De-
partment of AgnculUue an
nounced this week
In the past advances weie
made only fiom diversion pay
ments Since diveision pay
ments aie being authouzed
only on small farms in 1967
50 percent of the pnce-suppoi i

other farms On small fauns,
50 percent of both the diver
sion and price-support pay
ments may be advanced
To obtain an advance pay
ment, the farmer applies for

The dates for signup in 1967
have not been set but will be
announced well before plant
ing time. Advance payments
are an important source o£
capital for farming operations.
Price-support payments for
corn aie computed at the rate
of 30 cents a bushel times the
farm’s projected yield on 50
percent of the farm’s base
acreage for corn For giam
sorghum, the calculation is
the same except that the rate
is 53 cents per hundredweight.
Projected yields will average
a little higher nationally in
1967 than in 1966
The diversion, payment fot
small farms (farms with feed
grain bases of 25 acres or less)
will be equal to 20 percent of
the total support for the first

verted and 50 percent of sup
port on any additional acres
diverted, up to the total base.
