Wheat surplus concerns drive 38 million acre set aside plan
US Department of Agriculture official Victor Senechal told the Oregon Wheat Growers League that the 1972 set aside plan aims to remove at least 38 million acres from wheat production to offset this year's surplus. He noted the 1972 program offers more flexibility than 1971, with farmers able to choose crops and acreage under looser limits. Northwest growers warn of a tough year as a possible 70 million bushel surplus looms depending on the West Coast dock strike. In Belfast, a British Army spokesman said helicopters will mount machine guns but only for specialized situations.
