Bergland proposes three year loan contracts to curb wheat sales
Farm programs would adjust loan targets next week to exclude wheat and use 1978 targets reflecting costs and some farmer returns. The plan removes land and management expenses from targets to avoid boosting land values. Wheat would be held under three year voluntary contracts with incentives to store until prices rise 40 percent above the loan rate and government pressures to sell at 75 percent above it.
