Lincoln Nebraskas extension economist outlines a 1962 Wheat Stabilization program option. Farmers divert 10 percent of wheat acreage to conservation, receiving payments based on county support rate for No 1 wheat, per acre yield, and diverted acres. Payments can be cash or in wheat, with sale penalties only if chosen. An extra 30 percent reduction in wheat acreage increases payments, with voluntary aversion at 60 percent of adjusted yield per acre.

Wheat Program Conservation Notes and Referendum Details
The agreement requires that any acreage diverted from wheat for conservation be in addition to other federal conservation payments and the farm’s 1959 1960 averages. County offices provide specifics on provisions. The diversion payments depend on a two thirds nationwide vote on August 24, and regardless of the result, farmers must cut 1962 wheat acreage by 10 percent to qualify for price support.
