Com Belt Farmers 



(Continued from pjge 6) 



production can a protective granary of 

 reserve supplies be established for use 

 when production is unavoidably low. 

 Growing large surpluses above current 

 needs, however, recjuires that farmers be 

 fully prepared to take cooperative .iction 

 to store the surpluses and to support corn 

 prices. 



Disadvantages of large production 

 from excess acreage instead of good 

 yields are quite obvious. Very important 

 is destruction of soil fertility because of 

 insufficient soil-building crops on farms. 

 The dangers of surpluses difficult to 



manage and of low prices are much 

 greater. Crop failures with large corn 

 acreage mean less land available for pro- 

 duction of emergency, drought-resisting 

 crops. 



Corn Belt farmers have a choice to 

 make this spring. Their decision m.iy 

 have an important effect on the size of 

 their incomes for the next two or three 

 years. As they plan their corn acreage, 

 they are free to choose as individuals. 

 The choice of cooperation under the 

 AAA Farm Progr.xm is offered for tliem 

 to take or leave as they see fit. 



With the conservation and acre.ige ad- 

 justment programs, the corn loans and 

 the marketing cjuotas available in the 

 AAA Farm Program, farmers should be 



able to reduce substantially the fluctua- 

 tion in corn prices resulting from uneven 

 production and with it much of the risk 

 of livestock feeding. 



On the other hand, surplus corn pro- 

 duction without these advantages de- 

 presses corn prices and stimulates live- 

 stock production above the level that can 

 be maintained in normal years. Reserve 

 supplies are used up for large livcstotk 

 production, forcing down the income to 

 livestock farmers and leaving inadequate 

 reserves for livestock feed in short crop 

 years. These ups and downs in produc- 

 tion and prices depress farm incomes 

 and crcMte unbalance in the entire situa-
