Penalties Set on Excess Wheat Crops in 1957
Hamilton announced a marketing quota penalty of 1.12 dollars per bushel on excess 1957 wheat. Herbert L. Martin, chair of the Butler Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee, said the penalty equals 45 percent of the May 1 parity price of 2.50 dollars. Farmers with over 15 acres not complying must pay per-bushel penalties for excess. Continuous excess after June 11 loses price support and card issuance until penalties are settled.
