Yes and No Debate Grows As Wheat Referendum Near

Dry Weather Could Shift Wheat Vote May 21 Referendum
Dry conditions across central and southern Great Plains threaten winter wheat yields, risking lower income and possibly pushing growers to back Kennedy plan features. The plan would pay 70 cents per deficit bushel if quotas are short, and could shift marketing certificates and allotments, reducing hard red winter wheat in oversupply. Farmers criticize czarlike discretion and call the referendum a wolf in sheep's clothing, urging a no vote to preserve farming freedom.

Wheat hybrids and high protein wheat research progress
Dr Johnson cited 1956 start of grain protein studies and Atlas 66 transfers to hard red winter wheat. Experimental strains exceed Comanche in yield and protein, signaling potential high quality, high yielding wheats. A male sterility fertility restoration system in a bread wheat reported last October may enable large scale hybrid production though economic feasibility remains to be shown.
