Market system in Johnson program pushes 30 percent wheat acreage
Washington AP reports the Johnson administration urges farmers to plant 30 percent more land to wheat for 1967 due to depleted surpluses and heavy foreign demand. No extra incentive is offered beyond the current $1.25 per bushel guarantee, and Freeman predicts prices will stay above support levels amid strong domestic demand and exports.

Family farming in Madison Parish shows modern shifts
Madison Parish embraces a return to family farming with large mechanized operations. Ray Weems and his sons cultivate 650 acres across seven sites, manage planting, cultivation, and harvest, and hire little outside help. Alfred Fulford and four sons operate about 621 acres of cotton and soybeans, fully mechanized with most land rented, sharing year end crop returns. Prices and government programs fuel debate as farmers weigh market reliance versus supports, with wheat price trends and policy history shaping potential shifts in future attitudes.
