WASHINGTON, DC - The
number of acres a wheat farmer
can enroll m the U.S. Department
of Agriculture’s 1984 payment-m
-kind program will be limited so
that no farmer will receive more
than $50,000 in benefits, a USDA
official reported.
Everett Rank, administrator of
USDA’s Agricultural Stabilization
and Conservation Service, said
payment limitation is a ceiling
imposed by law on the total
amount of payments a farmer can
receive for participation in
USDA’s production stabilization
programs.
Generally, a farmer can receive
no more than $50,000 a year.
However, price support loans,
special disaster assistance and/or
cost-sharing for approved, en
during conservation practices are
not subject to this limitation, Rank
said.

Wheat PIK acres to be limited
because the 1984 wheat loan
rate was reduced from the
statutory $3.55 per bushel to $3.30
per bushel to maintain our
domestic and export markets, a
portion of the deficiency payment
rate may not be subject to the
$50,000 payment limitation," Rank
said.
"The amount of deficiency
payment not subject to the $50,000
limit will be the amount that the
deficiency payment rate exceeds
the difference between the old $3.55
loan rate and the $4.45 target price.
This will ensure that the total
returns to participating farmers
will be the same as if the ad
justment in the loan level had not
been made,” he said.
“We do not believe the payment
limitation statute applies to PIK
commodities and we did not apply
the limitation to last year’s PIK

program," said Hank "This view
has now been challenged bj the
General Account Office and some
members of Congress.
"We continue to believe we are
correct, but the issue must be put
to rest so that we can get on with
implementation of the 1984 PIK
program for wheat. Therefore, we
have decided, as a matter of ad
ministrative policy, that a farmer
will not be allowed to receive a

Rank said a proposal to make the
necessary changes in the PIK

Register and that final action on
the changes would be completed
