Rice Program Lists Marketing Quotas and Acreage Limits
Secretary Earl J. Butz announced plans for the 1974 rice program eliminating marketing quotas for the 1874 crop and allowing farmers to plant as much rice as they wish without price supports, or with price supports at 65 percent of parity. Acreage allotments would drop to the 1952 level, about 600,000 acres less, with the 1974 quota set at 1.859 million acres. Major provisions include no marketing quotas, loan eligibility tied to allotments, a 65 percent parity loan rate, and specific state allotments such as Louisiana 475,008 acres and Texas 422,313 acres, amid forecasts of easing world supply pressures and southeast harvests.
