Wheat Loan Plan Aims to Rebalance 1939 Market
The Department of Agriculture seeks to prevent a price collapse by mandating loans under a new crop control act. Secretary Wallace estimates 1939 wheat output around 740 to 950 million bushels with a total supply near 1.1 billion after carryovers. A wide acreage reduction of up to 37.5 percent is discussed, alongside a government crop insurance program to pull millions of bushels from the market. The move could spark protests from wheat growers and adjustments in corn and cotton allotments as the AAA tightens market control.
