Penalty Set On Wheat
Wheat buyers have responsibilities under government production and price support programs. Leon Choate warns warehousemen that the excess wheat marketing quota penalty this year is 1.07 dollars per bushel and buyers may owe the full penalty if wheat is purchased. A lien covers overplanted crop until the penalty is paid, so buyers should require a wheat marketing certificate and forward penalties to the ASC county office.
