i ] cent above 1967 levels. At the
;' same time, production controls
• would be dropped from nearly
[ all farm crops and direct
i payments would be eventually
eliminated for wheat, feed
grains and cotton.
Current farm programs have
already swallowed about $75
billion in federal costs without
solving the farm surplus and
income problem, the report
said. If the programs are
continued, another $35 billion
may be spent during the next
10 years—“and the problem
would still remain.”
Easements Praised
"Enough has already been I
i spent for the nation to have ■
bought its way out of this ;
problem several times over, j
The easement technique may!
be the way to finally dispose of I
tile problem and move onto'
more pressing social and!
economic issues,” the report
said.
If operated on a big enough
scale, the report said, the plan
"could be the terminal program
for agriculture” in a transition
to a market economy.
Under the easement plan:
—Farmers in marginal areas
would be invited to sell the
government an easement cover
ing rights to produce major
crops on their farms for 20
years. The landowners, or any
later owners of the farms
during the easement period,
could not grow any of the

. specified crops without govern
ment permission.
—A farmer selling an ease
ment would be paid over a 10-
year period, with a large part
of the price paid during the
first few years.
—Easements would be bought
first in areas of lowest farm
productivity, then In the next
lowest areas, until sufficient
land had been tied up to leave
production on remaining farms
in balance with demand at
about present price levels.
—Major government price
support programs would be
continued until the easement ■
program was big enough to'
keep free-market prices at
current levels; then the price
supports would be discontinued.
—Land covered by easements
could be kept out of all
production except for forestry.
Or, under one variation of the
plan favored by its sponsors,
farmers could be allowed to
produce beef on half the
easement acreage.
—Operations could be modi
fied to limit the amount of land
covered in any county or state,
although this would increase
the cost of the program.
Cost Estimated
The cost of the easement plan
might be about sl6 billion over
its first 10 years, sponsors
estimated, or about $lB billion
less than estimated costs of j
continuing present programs, i
After a decade, the easements i
would be paid off and would I
cost taxpayers nothing. Current >
programs—if extended—would i
continue to draw about $3.4 j
billion a year from the.
treasury.
Income estimates in the i
report included forecasts that
farm income by 1975 would be
$17.6 billion if present programs |
are extended, and about $16.11
billion if the far cheaper ;
easement plan is adopted. Both I
figures represent Increases!
over the $4.6 billion income i
level of 1967 and the $14.9
billion predicted for 1969.
