  • History of Agricultural Price-Support and Adjustment Programs, 1933-84
    legislation covered the 1953 and 1954 crops of basic commodities if the producers had not disapproved marketing quotas and also extended, through 1955, the requirement that the effective parity price for the basic commodities should be the parity price computed under the new or the old formula, whichever was higher. Extra-long staple cotton was made a basic commodity for price support purposes. TOWARD FLEXIBLE PRICE SUPPORTS At the end of the Korean War in 1953, the specter of surpluses once again dominated agricultural policymaking. The debate over levels of support (high and fixed versus a flexible scale) was renewed. The administration of Secretary Ezra Taft Benson increasingly favored flexible supports which would drop as supplies increased. Most Congressmen from agricultural districts, on the other hand, wanted to continue fixed supports. A growing number of agricultural economists moved from their near unanimous preference for flexible supports in the late 1940s to a belief that only strong production controls and high price supports could assure acceptable farm income in a period of growing productivity. For the immediate postwar period, USDA commodity programs continued much as before. Support levels for basic crops remained at 90 percent of parity for 1953 and 1954. Secretary Benson proclaimed marketing quotas for the 1954 wheat and cotton crops on June 1, 1953, and October 9, 1953, respectively. The major types of tobacco and peanuts continued under marketing quotas. Quotas were not imposed on corn but corn acreage allotments were reinstated in 1954 for the first time since before World War II (with the brief exception of 1950).

  • Agriculture: a Glossary of Terms, Programs, and Laws, 2005 Edition
    Agriculture: A Glossary of Terms, Programs, and Laws, 2005 Edition Updated June 16, 2005 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov 97-905 Agriculture: A Glossary of Terms, Programs, and Laws, 2005 Edition Summary The complexities of federal farm and food programs have generated a unique vocabulary. Common understanding of these terms (new and old) is important to those involved in policymaking in this area. For this reason, the House Agriculture Committee requested that CRS prepare a glossary of agriculture and related terms (e.g., food programs, conservation, forestry, environmental protection, etc.). Besides defining terms and phrases with specialized meanings for agriculture, the glossary also identifies acronyms, abbreviations, agencies, programs, and laws related to agriculture that are of particular interest to the staff and Members of Congress. CRS is releasing it for general congressional use with the permission of the Committee. The approximately 2,500 entries in this glossary were selected in large part on the basis of Committee instructions and the informed judgment of numerous CRS experts. Time and resource constraints influenced how much and what was included. Many of the glossary explanations have been drawn from other published sources, including previous CRS glossaries, those published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and other federal agencies, and glossaries contained in the publications of various organizations, universities, and authors. In collecting these definitions, the compilers discovered that many terms have diverse specialized meanings in different professional settings. In this glossary, the definitions or explanations have been written to reflect their relevance to agriculture and recent changes in farm and food policies.

    C§JLLETIN3~ ESM 45 COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE I THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY Even though farm numbers continue to decline rapidly, increasing production from the remaining farms more than adequately supplies the food and fiber needs of our in­ creasing population. Since farm incomes are lower than the incomes of non-farm workers, cooperative and legislative attempts have been made to improve the farmer's economic position and increase SUMMARY society's standard of living. Farm income from all sources on a per person basis now is about 80 percent that of non-farm people--an improvement over the 50 percent level of 1959. Legislators have provided various programs--price supports (either directly or through surplus purchases and storage), agricultural credit, production controls on acreage and marketings, the s01l bank, and more recently the voluntary partial land retirement programs (feed grains, cotton, wheat)--to impro\e low farm incomes. Wars, depression, diseases, droughts and changes in the Ame rica11 diet ha\e all contributed to a shifting of emphasis concerning farm needs and legislatiYe action. Changes in the future will continue to spur new programs aimed at improving conditions for agriculture and its contribution to our total welfare.

  • Provisions of the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990
    Crop year. The year in which a crop is harvested. For wheat, barley, and oats, the crop year is from June 1 to May 31. For corn, sorghum, and soybeans, it is from September 1 to August 31. For cotton, peanuts, and rice, the crop year is from August 1 to July 31. Cross-compliance. A requirement that a farmer participating in a program for one crop, on a specific farm, who meets the qualifications for production adjustment payments and loans for that crop, must also meet the program provisions for other major program crops on that farm. This requirement is called strict cross-compliance. With a limited cross-compliance provision, a producer participating in one commodity program, on a specific farm, must not plant in excess of the crop acreage base on that farm for any of the other program commodities for which an acreage reduction program is in effect. Strict cross-compliance provisions have not been enforced since the 1960's. Limited cross-compliance authority was implemented in the late 1970's and remained in effect under the Food Security Act of 1985. The 1990 Act removes authority for cross-compliance. Dairy Export Incentive Program. A program authorized by the Food Security Act of 1985 that offers subsidies to exporters of U.S. dairy products to help them compete with other subsidizing nations. Payments are made by the Commodity Credit Corporation on a bid basis either in cash, in- kind, or through certificates redeemable for commodities. The payment rates must reflect the type of dairy products to be exported and the domestic and world prices of dairy products, and other factors.
