There will be no acreage set-
aside requirement for the 1976
feed grain wheat and upland
cotton programs. It will be the
third consecutive year for the
feed grain and wheat program
and the fourth for the upland
cotton program in which no set-
aside was required.
Some provisions for the 1976
programs were recently annou-
nced by the U. S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA).

and wheat crops ai'e expected to

mand is strong. Reduced upland
cotton plantings in 1975 will re-
sult in a crop about two mil-
lion bales smaller than in 1974.
Tho Agriculture Department
also forecasts an increase in
domestic cotton usage and mov-
ement into export.
Secretary of Agriculture Earl
L. Butz reaffirmed his announ-
cement of 1973 that there will
be no conserving base require-
ment for the duration of the
Agriculturo and Consumer Pro-
tection Act and tho Secretary
will not use his discretionary
authority to limit feed grain
and wheat plantings to a percen-
tage of allotments and upland
cotton planted in excess of this
base allotement. The Agricul-
ture and Consumer Protection
act of 1973 is effective through-
out tho 1977 crop year.
For 1976 as in tho present
year producers may substitute
any non-conserving crop (ex
cept marketing quota crops) or
any conserving crop (including
approved volunteer cover) used
for hay or for grazing in order
to preserve their wheat feed
grain or cotton allotments.
Announcement of the pro-
visions will provide farmers
with information they need to
make their 1976 crop planting
decisions. Additional provisions
will be announced after USDA
reviews more 1975 production
data.
Feed grain wheat and upland
cotton programs are designed
to provide fanners decision-
making freedom to produce for
the marketplace.
Wheat allotment notices us-
ually issued in August by US-
DA's Agricultural Stabiliza-
tion and Conservation Service
(ASCS) will be combined with
1976 feed grain and upland cot-
ton notices issued after the first
of next year.
By issuing only one allotment
notice instead of three we ex-
pect to count county office ex-
penses and increase efficiency
in program administration.
Tho 1976 national wheat al-
lotment of 61.6 million acres is
15 perecent above the 1975 al-
lotment. Farmers who plan to
plant wheat this fall can closely
estimate their own 1976 wheat
allotment by increasing their
1975 allotment by 15 percent.
Representing the number of
acres of wheat needed to meet
projected domestic and export
demand the national wheat al
lotment is used as a basis for
making payments to wheat
growers should the market price
for wheat fall below the esta-
blished target price or if grow-
ers qualify for disaster pay-
ments. No acreage set-aside will be
required as a condition of eligi-
bility for loans target prices
and disaster payments and. that
the farm wheat allotment in no
way limits the number of acres
of wheat that may be planted.
