Wheat program idle-land rule to cut wheat output doubt
Gene Moos, president of the National Wheat Growers Association, says dropping the idle land requirement may not boost 1973 wheat output. The Nixon Administration allows grazing on land from 1973 wheat and feed grain programs, freeing nearly 15 million acres for other crops or spring wheat. Moos expects little short term impact on meat prices as feed grain increases shift toward beef-related supplies, with effects likely after about a year.
