Grain program plan proposes acreage reductions and penalties
A policy outline proposes grain cent payments at half the value of average 1959 1960 wheat production based on price support rates. Retired land above 10 percent would receive 60 percent of average production with Freeman setting a parity based rate 75 to 90 percent. Marketing quotas equal reduced acreages and penalties for over quota wheat would rise to 65 percent of parity based on yields of excess acres. Referendum by growers in July required with exemptions cut from 15 acres to the smaller of 13.5 or historic harvests and the 200 bushel self use exemption repealed.
