Minimum Wheat Support Set at 1.81 If Quotas Approved
The Department of Agriculture announces a minimum wheat price support for 1956 at $1.81 per bushel in commercial wheat states, based on 76 percent of the transitional parity price. Quotas would be in effect if two-thirds approve the June 25 referendum, with penalties for over-allotment and ineligibility for price support on excess production beyond 15 acres. If the referendum fails, support becomes 30 percent of the transitional parity price.
