The United States government through Congress has insured wheat growers a minimum of $2.00 per bushel for next year 1918 to encourage large wheat planting. The law sets a floor price, not a fixed sale price, and higher market prices are possible. A note corrects a common misperception that wheat must sell exactly at two dollars.
