Wheat policy could steady agriculture and curb grain surpluses
The federal plan limits this year's marketable wheat to 230 million bushels and encourages reduced wheat acreage to 65 percent of 1940.

A new white flour with higher vitamin retention could help absorb surpluses and improve national nutrition.
