Support Rate For #62 Crop Corn is $1.13 'l'L/\ Plnnl fAr* 1 (M>9_/»rrvA corn in Holt county will remain at $1.13 per bushel, Floyd Butter field, Chariman ASC Holt County Committee, has announced. This is the same as the minimum rate set in advance of the season to help growers plan their opera tions. Legislation authorizing the feed grain program lor the 1962 crop provided that support for corn could be set at a level not less than 65 per cent of parity. Since the national support price of $1.20 per bushel set last Jan uary is 74.5 per cent of the Oc tober corn parity price — above the legal minimum level, no change is being made in the 1962-crop corn support as pre viously announced. Farmers who cooperate in the 1962 feed grain program are eli gible for price support on their share of the farm's normal pro duction of corn. Producers who have not been notified of the nor mal production figure for their farms may obtain the figure from the ASC County Committee. To be in compliance with the 1962 program, cooperators must have diverted at least 20 per cent of their feed grain base acreage to conserving uses. Feed grain surplus is being substantially reduced for the sec ond consecutive year as a result of the feed grain program. A 10 year trend of ever-increasing supplies has been reversed, and on October 1 this year the corn carryover is an estimated 1,650 million bushels, down 350 million from a year earlier.
