June 25 Vote Will Affect 1956 Wheat Price Support
The Appanoose county ASC committee notes the June 25 wheat marketing quota referendum could set parity-based price support for the 1956 crop. A two thirds yes likely yields 75 to 82 percent parity, while a yes with quotas would apply only to farmers within allotments. a no turnout would set 50 percent parity.

The proposal would penalize excess wheat with 45 percent of parity for farms over the 15 acre threshold. If the vote fails, marketing quotas vanish but acreage allotments stay for price support. Quotas target Iowa and other 35 commercial states, excluding non commercial ones, with voting limited to growers over 15 acres.
