Wheat yield proof rules under 1973 act and aid notices
The Agriculture and Consumer Protection Act allows producers to base farm yields on actual production rather than county estimates for wheat. To prove yields for 1970–1974, producers must show farmed wheat and submit year specific disposition records, with dockage and moisture adjustments. Deadline: May 1 acreage reporting and December 17, 1975 for proof requests. Contact local ASCS office for details. Beneficial herbicides may raise range grass protein and drought protection. Weather modification laws exist in 31 states.
