Government Safe on Its Guarantee Amid Wheat Policy Talk
Federal Wheat Director Julius H. Barnes announced after a three day conference that the government price guarantee to wheat growers could be applied without harming the market or national treasury. Indications showed wheat would be traded in at the government fair price, with the possibility the market could rise above the fixed price schedule. The plan includes measures to reflect resale margins to bread consumers if government purchases are needed to cover differences between market and guaranteed prices. Spring wheat season is two weeks late, suggesting reduced acreage and a smaller winter crop, lowering chances of a very large exportable surplus.
