Feed Situation: February 1972 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Feed Situation: February 1972
With a normal growing season, these plantings would produce a u.s. Feed grain crop of around 195 million tons (including a corn crop of around billion bushels). This would be somewhat above projected requirements, causing a further increase in carryover.
Because the January 1 planting intentions indicated feed grain acreage in excess of requirements, the Secretary of Agriculture announced February 2 a new feed grain set-aside Option. Under the new option, corn producers, after setting aside the required 25% to participate, will be able to earn 80 cents per bushel for setting aside an additional 10% of their base. For sorghum, the payment will be 76 cents per bushel. To earn these higher payment rates, the producer will agree that for each additional acre set aside, his 197 2 plantings of corn and grain sorghum will be reduced by 2 acres below his 1971 acreage. Thus, 1 acre would be set aside and held out of production; the second acre would be held out of corn-grain sorghum production, with the freed acreage available for planting to other crops not subject to quota restrictions. In addition, producers may offer an additional 5% of their corn-grain sorghum base at these higher rates which may be accepted at the option of file Secretary. All previously announced provisions of the program are still available. There is no extra option for barley producers.
Domestic feed grain disappearance this year is now forecast about 6% above the volume; october-december's domestic use rose 9% above that quarter the previous year as extremely heavy disappearance of corn more than offset declines in other feed grains. Little change is forecast in numbers of grain consuming livestock to be fed in but with higher prices for livestock and products relative to feed prices, feeding per animal is heavier.
