Wheat loan rate raised to $2.35 a bushel in 1978
Agriculture Secretary Bergland announced a 10 cent increase in the 1978 wheat loan rate to $2.35 per bushel at the American Seed Trade Association convention in Kansas City. The move boosts cash flow for farmers, raises the reserve release level from $3.15 to $3.29, and aims to stabilize seasonal market movements without altering the average price. More than 349 million bushels are in the grain reserve as of now.
