Wheat program options seen for 1961 crop support
The article outlines multiple 1961 wheat policy options favored by officials and farm groups. Benson plans remove acreage controls and back wheat at 75 to 90 percent of the three year average, with certificates letting growers claim food market shares at about 225 a bushel while selling extra as livestock feed. Farm Bureau mirrors Benson, while the Senate panel proposes continued allotments with support prices starting at 80 percent of parity and gradual reductions for growers cutting acreage by 20 percent.
