the United States, for and in the name of this state, a state plan for carrying out the
purposes of this article during such calendar year.

(2) The department is authorized to modify or revise any such plan in

necessary or proper for the effective administration of the plan.

(4) Each such plan shall provide, through agreements with agricultural
producers or through other voluntary methods, for such adjustments in the
utilization of land, in farming practices, and in the acreage or in the production for
market, or both, of agricultural commodities, as the department determines to be
calculated to effectuate as substantial an accomplishment of the purposes of this
article as may reasonably be achieved through action of this state, and for
payments to agricultural producers in connection with such agreements or methods

Domestic Allotment Act, in order to provide for the effective carrying out of such
plan, and shall designate the amount and due date of each installment of such
grant, the period to which such installment relates, and the amount determined by
