1975 Feed Grain Details
A 1975 national feed grain
allotment of 89 million acres
- the same as for 1974 - was
announced recently by the
U.S. Department of
Agriculture.
The allotment represents
the number of harvested
acres of feed grains, based
on the estimated national
average yield, needed to
produce the quantity of feed
grains (less imports) that
will be used domestically
and for export during the
1975-76 marketing year.
Projected 1975 per bushel
feed grain yields on which
the allotment is based are

OVER TEN YEARS EXPERIENCE
Feed, whether you buy it or grow it, represents on outlay of 25 to 45% of
your milk check. Beacon's Free Roughage Analysis Service can help you lay
the foundation for an efficient and effective feeding program for your herd.
"Eyeball" analyses won't do the job. You need scientific sampling, high
quality laboratory analyses of the samples, and ... most of all ... the
recommendations of skilled and practical dairy nutritionists on how to apply
these analyses to benefit your herd.
The Beacon Roughage Analysis Service will help you toward the three
goals all dairymen share: Higher Milk Production, Greater Income Over Feed
Cost, Improved Net Returns.
There is no charge for this very worthwhile service. The Beacon Advisor will
visit your farm, take samples of all your roughages. He'll send them to the
Beacon laboratory for analysis. You'll get back a report and feeding recom
mendations tailored specifically to your herd, it's production level and your
roughage supply.

The allotment does not
represent a limit on acreage
but is computed only for the
purpose of distributing
payments to producers
should such iiayments be
required.
The department today also
announced:
The average loan rates in
effect in 1974 for wheat and
feed grains will be continued
at the same levels for the
1975 crops. The present per
bushel loan rates are $1.37
for wheat, $l.lO for com,
$1.05 for grain sorghum

($l.BB per hundredweight),
$0.90 for barley, $0.54 for oats
and $0.89 for rye.
There will be no loan
programs for soybeans, dry
edible beans, flaxseed, gum
naval stores and honey,
beginning with the 1975
crops. The department said
little use has been made of
the loan program for these
permissive-support comm
modities in recent years
because market prices are
two to three times loan
levels. Continuation of loan
support on these com
modities when not needed
would require unnecessary
administrative ex
penditures, the department
pointed out.
Wheat and feed grain loans
will no longer have identical
maturity dates but will
mature 12 months from the
first day of the month in
which the loan is made. This
procedure should assure
producers more flexibility in
marketing crops under loan.
A purchase program for
honey for which price sup
port is mandatory will
continue to be available.

Resale prices per bushel
(not including carrying
charges which vary) will be
$2.36 for wheat, $1.59 for
com, $1.51 for grain sorghum
($2.70 per hundredweight)
and $1.30 for barley. This
established rate of resale
will assure producers that
government-owned grain
which may be acquired will
not be used to drive market
prices down to target levels.
Oats and rye which do not
have target prices will be
resold at $0.78 and $1.28 per
bushel averages, respec
tively, plus carrying
charges, which makes the
resale prices comparable to
those commodities which do
have target prices.
A resale policy on any
honey acquired under the
purchase program will be
announced later.
On April 11 the department
announced a 1975 national
wheat allotment of 53.5
million acres. The allotment
does not represent a limit on
the amount of wheat that
may be planted. It is used
solely to determine what
payments would be made to
wheat growers if the national
