"The change would be a nightmare for Farm Service Agency employees, Lucas said, who would have to dig up the old records and figure out what things were like back in 1949, then try to explain it to farmers and ranchers.
“The world has changed dramatically in the past 60 years,” Lucas said. “It’s like the Middle Ages compared to now.”"
He can relax. We tried in the 1990's to update and data load the old wheat allotments into the system. The data was so bad that management then said, forget it. That was 15 years ago or so. The data hasn't improved since. If anyone in the South building thinks there's any possibility of doing wheat allotments, they're smoking something.

I believe they have had one or more meetings on allotments already, including doing something with GIS. Maybe somebody should blow the smoke out of here.
