Excerpt from Effects of Acreage-Allotment Programs: A Summary Report, 1954 and 1955 An 8-percent reduction from 1953 to 1955 in the total production of 4 of the basic allotment crops cotton, wheat, corn, and rice - was more than offset by increases in production of nonallotment crops. Land and other resources diverted from produc tion of these crops were used mainly to grow feed grains other than corn, oilseed cr0ps, rye, and hay. Acreage allotments, coupled with price sup ports, have not been effective in controlling the acreage of corn, particularly where the corn is fed to livestock on the farm on which it is grown.
