Farmers may bring overplanted wheat into quota compliance
The U S Department of Agriculture loosens rules to allow wheat producers across counties to count overplanted 1954 wheat acreage toward the marketing quota. The Maryland ASC chair notes the change defines wheat acreage to exclude green manure, pastured off, or silage cut, provided the crop matures. Penalties and price support implications for excess acreage remain in effect without the amendment.
