Wheat Allotment Notices Mailed in Houston County
CALEDONIA Minn No tices of 1966 farm wheat allotments have been mailed to farmers in Houston County by the county Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee. Farm allotments are smaller because the national wheat acreage allotment is smaller. The decision to send out the allotments now was made so farmers have time to plan their farming operations for next year. We recognize there will be questions about details of the wheat program but they will have to wait until Congress enacts one. Congress is working on farm legislation now.
