First Payments Made In ASC Wheat Program In Idaho

Ken ton Fredrickson and Keith Buttars of Weston received part of roughly 582 county payments totaling 185.00 for 1964. The program provides domestic and export certificates plus loan support, with diverted acres aiding conservation and wildlife plantings. Millers may raise flour prices, but broader bread price hikes appear unlikely.
