County Farmers Okay Wheat Plan In Weekend Vote
Douglas County wheat growers joined with others nationwide Saturday to approve continued federal marketing quotas and price supports for another year. The local vote reached 70 percent in Douglas County, higher than last year and just above the national requirement. Rainy conditions boosted turnout as showers kept fields muddy and delayed harvest, with 148 ballots cast in Douglas County. The nationwide 77 percent favorable vote sustains price supports at about 1.81 dollars per bushel and requires acreage limits for sale of wheat.
