Kansas farmers reported 35,073,626 bushels of 1963 crop wheat under price support loans and purchase agreements through January 1964, with 1962 and 1961 crops shown for comparison. Gilbert W. Egbert highlighted small 1963 totals and large redemptions, noting a aim to promote orderly marketing and price protection during harvest. He and Kansas delegates criticized plans to depress wheat prices, urged assurances on surplus release price and diversion payments, and pledged support for voluntary, farmer-controlled wheat legislation.
