The Crophmd Adjustment
program for 1967 is geared to
the changed need for agricul-
tural production, Gilbert W.
Egbert, chairman, Agrk:uiL
ural Stabilization and Conser-
vation state committee, said
this week. Tim program aims
at surplus crops, and
those which could quickly be-
come surplus - cotton, peanuts,
tobacco, and feed grains,
Kansas has received an
initial allocation of $1.021,000
for the 1967 Cropland Adjust-
ment program, Egbert said,
that the signup of farmers who
wish to take part next year
will start on December 1.
The greenspan provisions of
the program will continue to
help state and local govern-
ments acquire cropland for
nonfarm uses such as preset'-
vation of open spaces and na-
tural beauty, wildlife habitat
and recreation and the pre-
vention of air and water
pollution.
Egbert pointed out that, na-
tionally, about 30 to 35 million
base acres can go back into
production under the 1967
wheat and feed grain pro-
grams along with more than
2 million acres from expiring
conservation reserve con~
tracts. He cautioned, llowever,
tha~ there is still need to pre-
vent over-expansion of acre-
age in some crops in order to
avoid returning to costly sur-
plus buildups.
For 1967, CAP provides
generally higher rates for put-
ting cropland not presently
needed for agricultural pro-
duction unde~ long term agree-
ments -5 to 10 years. These
rates reflect the improvement
in commodity prices.
Adjustment payment rates
in Kansas for land that would
otherwise produce corn and
grain sorghum will range from
Mrs. Media Whitley writes
from California where she has
been visiting this fall, that she
is having a lovely visit. She
will go to Glendale this week-
end to see a cousin and plans
to be home in December•
::i,! !
iiii'i ' !
!:, ~i i
49 to 53 cents per bushel for
corn and from 39 to 43 cents
a bushel for grain sorghum.
The payment will be determin-
ed by the number of acres and
lhe farm yield per acre.
After placing all of the acre-
age of one or more of the
above crops or tame hay in
the program, except acreage
for home use of corn and grain
:-:orghunt, farmers may include
other row crop and small-
grain acreage. Rates for this
other cropland in Kansas - in-
cluding that for wheat, rice,
and barley - u ill range from
$6.00 to $10.20 per acre.
In addition to the adjustment
payment related to the value
of crops normally produced on
the land, participants will also
be eligible for conservation
cost-sharing on land .put un-
der the program. All of the
land taken out of production
will be put to conservation
uses. Wildlife plantings and
conservation measures which
preserve open space and
enhance natural beauty, will
continue to be emphasized.
Other practices au[horized for
cost:sharing assistance will
prevent erosion or air and
waler pollution, and provide
bc'tter' outdoor recreation.
The program should be of
particular benefit to farmers
who want to r~tire- or take jobs
in industry, or for other rea-
sons wart to c~ange their pro-
duction !mt l.ern. The program
)ro~ides a means by which
they can ,,hilt land into new
uses and at the same time
apply needed conservation
measures for long-time benefit
to the land•
Details on how the program
may apply to the individual
farm will be available in ASCS,
county ofiices later this month•
