Wheat program changes eyed as 1984 election looms
Kansas State University extension grain marketing specialist Bill Tierney warned that Congress may “sweeten” the 1984 wheat program before July amid the election season. He outlined possible revisions including lower acreage reductions, diversion payments, and a payment in kind option, while noting export markets remain weak and foreign competition is strong. He spoke to a statewide TELENET conference, with sites across Kansas offering future sessions.
