Wheat Rules Drawn Wheat Plains Aid For 1964 Crops
Washington AP Freeman announced new cotton and wheat stabilization programs keeping 1964 allotments after Johnson signed the cotton wheat bill. The plan provides about 1 billion dollars in payments and subsidies with a national wheat allotment of 49.3 million acres. Cooperating farmers receive price supports at 1.30 per bushel plus 90 percent yield certificates, while 19 percent of normal yield is market price. Diverted land payments are 20 percent of county support times normal yield. Sign up runs May 1 to May 15. Millers and processors must buy 70 cent certificates for food wheat and exporters must buy 25 cent certificates for exports starting July 1.
