Wheat bill not a panacea says Breeding
Rep. J Floyd Breeding of Kansas says the House wheat bill eases but does not solve the problem. The measure cuts acreages by 50 percent, raises price supports to 90 percent of parity and doubles penalties for overplanting. It aims to cut production, shrink wheat stocks and reduce program costs by about 528 million dollars over the next two years.
