For the first time, a farm must limit output of all cash crops or lose price support on any single crop. Wheat, cotton, corn, tobacco, peanuts, sugar cane and sugar beets are targeted. soybeans and several grains are not. Wheat farmers face cuts and a national referendum on July 23 to set marketing quotas.
