Mrs. Myrl Verzal and Mrs.

Production Credit association, re
turned recently from Omaha
where they participated in a two

Bank of Omaha.
The O’Neill PCA. represented

son, makes loans to farmers and
stockmen in Holt, Boyd, Gar
field and Wheeler counties.
tional soybean production will be
on acreage that has been used
for crops in abundant supply
rather than from land now in
conserving uses or idle land.
Soybean producers will be re
quired to maintain their 1959450
average acreage of conserving
any idle land on the farm in 1901
in order to be eligible for 1961
price support on their soybean
crop.
Price support on the 1961
soybean crop has been in
creased to insure an adequate
supply and to help meet antici
pated needs for this important
oil crop. The national average
support price for 1961-crop soy
beans will be $2.30 per bushel.
The support for the 1960 crop
, of soybcjuts was $1.85 i>er
bushel.
While the soybean price-sup
port provision and the feed grain
program both seek to encourage
conservation and reduce the
planting of crops which are in
abundant supply, the soybean
price support operates inde
pendently of the feed grain pro
gram.
Farmers may not plant soy
beans on corn or grain sorghum
acreage on which a diversion
payment is earned under the 1961
feed grain program. Likewise,
they may qualify for price sup
■
port on their 1961 soybean crop
by meeting the price-support con
ditions of eligibility and without
participating in the 1961 feed
grain program.
