Wheat Plan Details May Be Announced
AP reports sources say the Agriculture Department may on a conjecture basis release limited 1971 wheat program acreage ideas before Congress acts on the omnibus farm bill. Departments officials may delay detailed figures until after Senate action, while committees craft admin rules for wheat, cotton, and feed grains for the next three years. President Nixon criticizes the delay as harming farmers.

It criticizes built in payment controls, parity concerns, and the proposed set aside, warning of rising costs and potential crop misallocations in cotton, wheat, and feed grains.
