1964 Wheat Program's Effect on Wheat Income
Harold Van Zandt, Muscatine ASC chair, says the 1964 wheat program raised farmer income. The loan rate rose to 1.30 from 1.26 per bushel, with cashable certificates 70 cents for domestic and 25 cents for export wheat. Diversion payments and other benefits boosted 1964 receipts by about 454 million dollars, though overall income may still fall from last year due to quotos and parity changes.
