Maryland Wheat Program Details From Secretary Freeman

Freeman outlined the 1964 wheat program with a May 21 referendum date for marketing quotas and a national marketing quota of 1 220 million bushels plus national acreage of 49.5 million acres. State allotments follow the national total, no noncommercial wheat states designated, price supports set at 2.00 per bushel for certificated wheat and 1.30 for noncertified if quotas pass. The certificated marketing allocation stands at 975 million bushels, 80 percent of the quota, with certificates for 80 percent of normal production on each farm. Diversion payments for conserving uses are 30 percent of the county price support rate, with acreage eligible at 11.11 percent of each 1964 allotment.
