Two Year Wheat Reductions Can Be Made In One
Farmers who raise spring wheat this year will get their adjustment payments under wheat allotment contracts and must cut acreage next year. The modified contract allows total two year reductions to be concentrated in 1986 rather than spread over 1935 and 1936, offering flexibility to offset drought. A typical example explains how base 100 acres with no excess in 1934 would plant 90 acres in 1936 under the change.

Acreage Plan Under Wheat Program Rules For 1936
A farmer explains that with a 15 percent reduction in the 1936 wheat program the maximum he could plant would be 65 acres. The calculation reduces 15 acres per the 1936 contract and subtracts 50 more to offset the 20 extra acres planted in 1935, based on a 110 acre base.
Destruction of Real Wealth and Farm Soil
A quoted passage questions the value of the agricultural depression program by imagining mass soil removal across hundreds of thousands of farms. It describes plowing, hauling topsoil to rivers, and blasting subsoil to ruin farmland, debating whether such acts would destroy wealth and referencing how some farmers push for maximum production while resisting adjustments.
Stop destroying wealth by soil and land policy
The author argues heavy cropping drains fertility and causes erosion across America. Overproduction lowers farm prices and incomes while topsoil is lost on millions of acres. Restoring land to grass, rotating crops, and public programs under AAA and grassland purchases aim to reduce soil loss and stabilize farming profits for the nation.
