Summary:

On January 11, 1983, President Reagan announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture would implement a payment-in-kind (PIK) program to help reduce Government grain surpluses and to improve farm income. In response to numerous requests for information on this topic, we have compiled the enclosed materials on this program and the initial reaction to it. Additional information on the subject, primarily in periodicals and newspapers, may be found in a local library through the use of indexes such as the Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature, Public Affairs Information Service Bulletin (PAIS), and the New York Times Index.
