Farmers can plant soybeans on qualifying feed grain base
acres—and still receive full USDA diverted acreage payments.
About People You Know
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Combrink and
son of Tonkawa visited in the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Com-
brink Sunday afternoon.
Mrs. Louis Bucholz made a bus-
iness trip to Perry Tuesday, Dec.
28 Accompanying her were Shelli
Wilkins and Beni McKeown.
Max Thomas drove to Vinita
to visit his son, Roger DeWayne,
who accompanied his father home
for Christmas holidays. Roger
DeWayne, five, attends kinder-
garten at Vinita, but had a week’s
vacation.
Farmers now have the prof-
itable option to substitute soy-
beans for corn, wheat, barley,
and sorghum-and still receive
full feed grain payments.
The change in the 1972
USDA Feed Grain Program
covers the 1972 soybean crop,
according to the National Soy-
bean Crop Improvement
Council. "For the first time,
farmers can plant soybeans
on all qualifying feed grain
base acres without losing a
cent of USDA payments,”
says the Council’s Robert W.
Judd
"That opens up new profit
opportunities for 1972 soy-
bean production," Judd points
out. "It’s an option never be-
fore available on soybeans.”
The 1972 option could add
an additional 88 cents per
bushel to soybean cash re-
turns, according to Judd. He
reasons this way: A Corn Belt
farmer with 100 acres of corn
base, and a 100-bushel per
acre average corn yield,
could qualify for $2,000 in
feed grain payments, a
He would first have to set
aside 25 percent-or 25 acres
-of his feed grain base. This
remaining 75 acres would then
be available for soybean pro-
duction. The formula would
be: one-half the feed grain
base (50 acres) times the yield
index (100 bushels) times the
USDA payment (40 cents per
bushel). This nets $2,000 in
USDA payments. If the farm-
er averaged 30 bushels of soy-
beans per acre, he would pro-
duce 2,250 bushels on 75 quali-
fying base acres. This would
net nim a USDA payment
equivalent to 88 cents per
bushel of soybeans produced.
An added advantage to 1972
soybean production, says
Judd, is strong market de-
mand and accompanying fav-
orable price levels. “There’s a
need for at least five million
more acres of soybeans in
1972,” he points out. “It’s a
unique opportunity for farm-
era-ready cash markets, and
an added USDA payment, as
well!”

Ecology And "American Pie”
Don McLean is a hard man
to pin down. There are so
many sides to this young poet
singer, whose latest release on
United Artists is currently
soaring up the record charts.
A songpoet with two albums
to his credit, he is highly in-
ventive, totally unique and has
been mentioned in the same
breath with James Taylor, Neil
Young and Elton John. And
yet he is like none of them.
When he sings it is about
waste and pollution, Pete
Seeger and the Beatles, Buddy
Holly and the Rolling Stones.
His songs apparently express
a lot of the feeling of his gen-
