Wheat quotas raised as Johnson eases wheat farming limits
President Johnson reversed a five year policy to let American wheat farmers raise production by 15 percent for the next year. The White House said the move comes after talks with Agriculture Secretary Freeman and aims to ease postwar surpluses and meet overseas demand including aid to India. The House Agriculture Committee backed a two year 6.6 billion food for freedom bill replacing food for peace, with bans on Communist nations and Cuba or North Vietnam aligned shipping. A 7.7 million acre increase returns land to wheat production for the 1967 crop year, bringing total wheat allotment to 51.6 million acres.
