Grain prices announced
WASHINGTON - Secretary of
Agriculture John R. Block has
announced provisions of the 1986
price support programs for upland
cotton, feed grains, rice and wheat.
The programs include required
acreage reductions of 20 percent
for teed grains, 35 percent for rice,
25 percent for wheat, and 25 per
cent for cotton. Included in these
reductions is a 2% percent paid
land diversion for wheat and feed
gram producers.
Signup for the farm programs is
anticipated to begin in early
March.
The 1986 loan rates (per bushel),
will be $1.56 for barley, $1.92 for
com, $.99 for oats, $1.82 for
sorghum, $1.63 for rye, and $2.40
for wheat. Loan rates for rice and
cotton will be announced later.
Target prices will be the same in
1986 as were in effect for 1985
crops. They are (per bushel);
barley, $2.60 corn, $3.03; oats,
$1.60, sorghum, $2.88; wheat, $4.38.
Producers are eligible to earn
deficiency payments on the
acreage planted within the extend
permitted. Producers who plant at
least 50 percent of the permitted
acreage to the program crop and
plant the remaining permitted
acreage to a non-program crop,
other than soybeans or extra long
staple cotton, will be eligible to
receive deficiency payments on 92
percent of the permitted acreage.
Winter wheat producers who
reduce the acreage planted to
wheat on the farm for harvest so
that it does not exceed 65 percent of
the farm wheat base may be
eligible to receive diversion
