Carter to Cut Wheat Acreage 20 Percent Next Year
President Carter moves to curb wheat output by 20 percent in 1978 amid rising grain surpluses at home while enlarging a farmer owned grain reserve to include corn and other feed grains. Deputy Secretary John White says the plan should not significantly affect prices and may signal further acreage reductions for 1978.
