Wheat problem a complex one at Omaha meeting
Roy F. Hendrickson of Washington told the National Association of Wheat Producers that the wheat crisis demands a bi partisan approach, a multiple pricing system, and a national policy. He warned of urgent implications for American producers, processors, consumers, and the economy, urging Congress and the new agriculture secretary to push a bipartisan solution. He noted the CCC loan program and post war export demand have steadied markets, while a possible 550 million bushel carryover next July could intensify the challenge.
