PAGE 4-PLAINDEALER-FRI., JANUARY 8, 1971 Provisions Of Feed Grain Set-Aside Program Listed "The most important aspect of the 1971 feed grain set-aside program is that it provides farmers much more free­ dom than previous programs have in deciding the kind and amount of grains and other crops they want to produce on their farms. At the same time, it is designed to put a greater reliance on the marketplace as the principal source of farm in­ come while assuring equitable returns to growers and suffi­ cient feed grain production for domestic and export needs," according to Joe Getty, chair­ man of the Mc Henry County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) committee. "For example, the feedgrain base for a farm will be used only to determine acreage set- aside and price-support pay­ ment. The feed grain base does not restrict a producer to a set number of acres of feed grains nor does it indicate to him what crop or crops he must or should plant," Mr. Getty said. The general outline of the new feed grain program has already been announced, he said, and full information on all provisions are expected before March 1, when program signup begins. The ASC committee chairman provided this summary of the 1971 feed grain set-aside pro­ gram provisions to date: The signup period will be March 1 through April 9 at county ASCS offices. The pro­ gram is voluntary and open to producers with farms having corn or grain sorghum bases. Barley will not be included in the 1971 program. Farm feed grain bases will remain sub­ stantially the same as for 1970. A producer may sign up one or more farms in which he has an interest and not sign up oth­ ers, as he chooses. When a producer signs up, he agrees to set aside an ac­ reage to be put itt conserving uses. He also agrees to main­ tain the farm^NConserving base. The set-aside /percentage has been tentatively set at 20 per­ cent for planning purposes by the U.S. Department of Agricul­ ture, with actual set-aside per­ centage to be announced before signup begins. By participating in the program, a producer becomes eligible for price-support pay­ ment on one-half his feed grain base and price-support loan on all his feed grain production.

D., M.D. CASE N-520: Tina S., aged4, has 2 dolls. "Dr. Crane," her worried mother began, "Tina's dolls are about to cause an upset in our household. "For her daddy gave her an expensive doll which he had pur­ chased at a leading department store. "But Tina's grandmother helped Tina make an old rag doll. "Tina thus helped stuff the latter and her grandmother ev­ en let Tina sew the doll. "But her daddy is angry be­ cause Tina ignores the costly doll he bought her and prefers the rag doll she helped create. "Dr. Crane, isn't this an ev­ idence of your statement that we take more interest in what­ ever we have personally in­ vested in?" AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Yes, Tina's case is a clas­ sical example of the Biblical axiom stressed by Jesus, name­ ly: "Where your treasure i$, there will your heart be also." And "treasure" means not just gold and silver. No; it also involves oijr time and effort, our advice "and as­ sistance. Like many modern business executives, Tina's daddy thinks in terms of $$$$, and thus can't understand why Tina is oblivious of the costly price tag cm the doll he bought at the department store.

However, if less than 45 percent of his feed grain base is planted to feed grains, his farm's 1972 base will be reduced by the amount of the under-planting, up to 20 percent of the base. If ^ Hants no feed grains or a zed substitute, crops for th. suc­ cessive years, the feed grain base could be removed. Payments to producers par­ ticipating in the 1971 feedgrain set-aside program will be de­ termined on the basis of the 1971 farm yield for payment purposes multiplied by one-half the feed grain base. If the re­ quired set-aside is determined to be 20 percent, a preliminary/ payment rate of 32 cents a bushel for corn and 2&cents a bushel (52 cents a hundred­ weight) for grain sorghum will be made. If the required set- aside is less than 20 percent, the preliminary payment will be razeed proportionately. any case, 'the total payment will guarantee a producer not less than $1.35 per bushel for corn or 70 f>ercent of parity, whichever is higher, on one half of his corn base. A guar­ antee of $1.24 per bushel ($2.21 per hundredweight) is provided for grain sorghum. If the final payment turns out to be less than the preliminary payment, no;refund will be required from "producers. Price-support loans will be available to program partici­ pants at $1.08 a bushel for No. 2 corn, and $1.73 a hundred­ weight for grain sorghum. These are national average loan rates; county loan rates will vary somewhat from these av­ erages. The 1971 loan rates on other feed grains will be: Barley, 81 cents per bushel; oats, 54 cents per bushel; and rye, 89 cents per bushel. The wheat loan rate will be $1.25 a bushel, and the soybean loan rate will be $2.25 a bushel for No. 1 grade. ... Substitution will be allowed for wheat and feed grains. That is, acreage planted to wheat (above a farm's wheat allot­ ment) will be considered plant­ ed to feed grains for feed grain base history purposes. A pro­ ducer with a feed grain base and a wheat allotment can plant his eligible[ cropland acreage to wheat, icorn, or grainxsorghum without loss of history, and will receive both wheat certificates and feed grain payments. He must meet the set-aside re­ quirements for both programs and maintain his farm'? con­ serving base, as well as signup for both programs. Other provisions of the 1971 feed, grain set-aside program relate to use of set-aside acres, lancT eligible for set-aside, types of conserving uses, pay­ ment limitation of $55,000 per person, preventing loss of base history, and various regulations on program participation. Mr. Getty said these provis­ ions will be publicized through newsletters, meetings and let­ ters to producers, as well as through further news re­ leases to the press.

"Yet my son refuses to have anything to do with it!" Well, Dads, you must "brain­ wash" your offspring even far back before kindergarten, if you wish them to want to become your partners in later life! Remember, people tend to value that in which they have invested time and from which they have previously received ego inflation. Even in public speaking, you will find that the crowd thinks your address is far better if you let them indulge in some "audience participation." Magicians thus routinely use members of their audience, for this very reason. ^ About 3,000,000 of you have heard my public addresses so you will recall that my "Moti­ vation Test," plus my experiment," are insei tinely to permit the auc participate. - Platform artists and teachers thus can either let the crowd physically indulge in "audience participation" or the speakers can use acutal cases with which the audience will identify it­ self via empathy.
