Wheat Growers Urged to Shift Crop for War Needs
Kern County wheat growers are urged by RR Bright to divert part of their plantings to crops vital to the war effort. Secretary Wickard announces 1943 wheat marketing quotas to curb surpluses and conserve storage capacity. Farmers will receive 1943 acreage allotments within a national 55 million acre wheat allotment, with only 21 million acres needed for domestic and export needs. Farmers are advised to plan now to maximize land use, including growing non wheat crops where suitable.
