These actions clearly
demonstrate the flexibility of the
set-aside programs, USD A of
ficials said, m that it enables
adjustment to rapid changes in
market demand.
When the 1973 wheat program
was announced in July, 1972, the
amount of set-aside land required
for program participation was an
acreage equal to 86 percent of a
farm’s domestic allotment.
Since announcement of the
program, demand for wheat
worldwide has developed
following crop failures or
reductions in grain harvest
throughout much of Asia and in
other portions of the world.
Demand for other grain crops
and for oilseed crops also has
increased heavily.
The national wheat allotment
for 1973 is 18.7 million acres
Elimination of the required
wheat set-aside acreage will free
nearly 15 million acres for
production of crops, including
wheat for forage. It is expected to
add to market income earned by

farmers.
No other 1973 wheat program
provisions were changed except
for elimination of the required
set-aside percentage, USDA
reported, and program payments
will not be affected in any way by
the reduction in set-aside
acreage.
The decision to permit grazing
on set-aside acreage was made in
order to prevent or alleviate a
shortage in the supply of
livestock feed, the Department
explained. The grazing privilege
will assist livestock producers in
meeting increasing consumer
demand for meat products by
making additional forage
