A&UuTOßtif Farming, Saturday, May 2s, 1992
Corn Plantings Could
Total 1.45 Million Acres
LEESPORT (Berks Co.)—The
U. S. Department of Agriculture’s
prospective plantings report places
Pennsylvania’s 1992 com seed
ings at 1.45 million acres. 4 per
cent above last year. Com plant
ings for the nation are expected to
total 79 million acres this year, 4
percent more than last year, and
possibly the largest acreage since
1985.
Richard Troutman, chairman of
the Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Committee, said the
acreage actually planted may vary
from those indicated because of
the 1992 farm programs, the
effects of weather, availability of
production inputs, and changes in
economic conditions before
planting.
The report is based on voluntary
responses from approximately
70,000 farmers and ranchers to a
mail survey conducted the Erst two
Tower Silos
Productive Cows
and Increased
ProUts
Properly managed tower silos ensure maximum utilization of
homo grown foods. This means Increased production and
maximum profitability for your farming operation.
Ensiled forages have more leaves and are highest In energy and
crude protein.
Palatlbility is highest with silage, resulting in greater dry matter
consumption and higher production.
Harvesting of crops can be done at the optimum stage of
development.
Modern automation equipment easily adapts to tower silos,
thereby maximizing your manpower efficiency.

“Many producers had not made
their filial planting decisions for
the 1992 crop year at that time,”
Troutman said. The signup period
for this year’s farm programs
ended May 1. Therefore, the
survey results are only a prelimin
ary response to the 1992 Feed
Grain Program, he said.
The program contains a 5 per
cent acreage reduction require
ment for com, grain sorghum, and
barley and a 0 percent reduction
for oats. It offers a federal target
price of $2.75 per bushel and price
support on loans at $1.72 per
bushel. Farm prices for com in
1991-1992 are expected to be
around $2.40 per bushel.
The USDA report shows that
Pennsylvania farmers planted TL4
million acres of com in 1992 and
1.38 million acres in 1990.
