Meaning Of Allotment As Applied To Wheat Explained
Murl McDonald of the Ames extension service explains wheat allotment calculations under the adjustment program. The allotment equals 54 percent of the five year crop average for domestic use, with county and farm quotas based on past production and a potential 20 percent acreage reduction.
