LUBBOCK, Friday, January 30, 1987
Farmers are just getting into the serious business of
making farm program decisions for the coming crop
year. And they need all the help they can get, say
officials of Lubbock-based Plains Cotton Growers, Inc.
The complexities of the major crop programs are
such, and the need for wise choices so great, that
making decisions based on a superficial analysis of the
options this year could be disastrous for farmers
already in financial straits, comments PCG Executive
Vice President Donald Johnson. And help is available
for the asking, he adds.
The Texas Agricultural Extension Service has pre-
pared full program explanations and detailed work-
sheets for step-by-step projections on cotton, feed
grains, wheat and rice. Copies are available at all
county extension agents’ offices and from PCG.
As pointed out in the TAEX literature, the hard
decision this year is not “to participate or not to partic-
ipate” but “at what level to participate.”
The latter option revolves around what’s called the
50-92 option under which producers can participate in
the program by planting anywhere from 50 percent to
92 percent of the maximum permitted acreage and
retain eligibility for 92 percent of deficiency pay-
ments. Actual planted acreage is used to calculate
payments if less than 50 percent or more than 92
percent of permitted acreage is planted.
In cotton, for example, with a 100-acre base a pro-
ducer can plant as little as 37.5 acres (half the 75
permitted acres) and receive payment on 69 acres (92
percent of permitted acres). The correct decision of
course must be based, using each individual produc-
er’s cost, yield, price and payment rate projections, on
whether the loss of production on half the permitted
acreage and the partial loss of payments will be offset
by reduced production cost and risk.
Projections used by the Extension Service in an
example for Southern High Plains cotton show per-
acre return above variable costs at $54.94 with full
planting of permitted acreage, and only S41.84 for full
50-92 participation. Non-program participation shows
a loss of $27.54 per acre.
The Extension Service cautions however that cal-
culations from cotton and projections for other pro-
gram crops are based on typical expected yields and
costs and on projected market prices and deficiency
payment rates and should not be used directly for
making program decisions. Instead, they advise that
each producer evaluate participation options using his
own yield, cost and expected market price and pay-
ment projections.

Mrs McGlaun presented a most inter
esting art program contrasting the works
of a 10th century Dutch artist with the
various types ot work produced by mod-
ern day American artists She quoted
trorn Michal-angelo. “One paints with
one's head and not one's hand" She then
showed how true this was in the lite ot
Vincent Nan Gogh, born in 1853 to a
Protestant Dutch clergyman
I hough his ow n family was not atllu-
ent. he had uncles who were prosperous
art dealers, and Irom an early age he was
exposed to the f inest art in I urope. even
working in the business w ith his uncle lor
w horn he was named Hut \ an (iogh had
a great mental struggle throughout his
life, going through periods of high and
low emotions.
His eccentric and unconventional he-
hav :or made life difficult for himself and
those close to him He quarrelled with
family, with professors, with fellow-
artists. and with society in general which
made it impossible for him to form and
maintain relationships
I hree disappointments in love affairs,
together with his feeling that religion had
failed him made him a loner whose life
finally ended in madness and suicide
Only a brother. I heo. was able to under-
stand his great life struggle and was the
only stabilizing influence Heoften wrote
letters to I heo describing pictures he was
doing I hese letters have been preserved
During his lifetime. Nan Gogh sold only
one painting
I hroughout all his troubled life, onlv
his art saved him He worked turouslv
and was able to advance and produce He
mastered several art styles and subjects of
his paintings were wide and varied f ora
period of time he lived among the pea-
sants and gained a close reality to the soil.
