Wheat policy reversal adds 5.2 million acres for 1986
Washington reports the Agricultural Adjustment Administration expands wheat planting by 5.2 million acres for the 1986 crop in a shift seen as a response to rising living costs. The move follows boycotts and protests over food prices, while opponents warn of market distortions and uncertain exports as hog and pork supplies face scarcity and rising costs. The piece also notes a growing federal payroll under the New Deal, with more than 150,000 new employees since Roosevelt’s rise to power and concerns about job security for political appointees.
