Douglas County Wheat Acreage Cut Required By AAA This Fall
Douglas county farmers face a more than 50 percent cut in wheat acreage as the AAA assigns a 29 064 acre allotment for next year. Last summer 60 000 acres were harvested despite a 42 200 acre quota, as growers planted heavily. Those exceeding their allotment risk losing farm program payments, though 25 cents per bushel will be paid to compliant farmers. Natural factors may reduce wheat plantings amid a poor crop and low prices, while corn prospects look strong in the rotation.
