Wheat Vote Set For Michigan Farmers Friday
About half of Michigan wheat farmers can vote Friday August 14 on national wheat marketing quotas proclaimed by Secretary of Agriculture. Quotas apply to farmers planting 15 or more acres this fall. Michigan’s exact 1954 allotment will be computed in Washington and shared with voters beforehand. If two thirds vote yes, price support remains at 90 percent of parity. if one third or more vote no, support drops to 60 percent. Excess production triggers a 45 percent penalty under quotas and may render a farmer ineligible for price support.
