Montana State College extension director J C Taylor says new wheat adjustment contract will be offered to farmers in Montana soon. State and national officials say the four year term 1936 to 1939 inclusive will lower sign up costs and is the result of farmer representatives from principal wheat states reviewing the plan.

The document outlines that payments may be delayed or garnished if the producer breaches the contract and that adjustment payments for the previous year may be repaid.

It also protects tenants from lease changes that would reduce adjustment pay.
