ASCS Officials say the 1987 program does not contain a marketing loan provision or marketing quotas. Offsetting compliance will not apply. Each farm stands on its own. You can participate on one farm without having to do so on another farm, or to limit production on a nonparticipating farm. There will, however, be cross compliance in effect for 1987. To be eligible for benefits from a par ticipating crop, the acreage of any other program crop that is planted for harvest on the participating farm cannot exceed the crop acreage for the other crop.
