Benson Sees Wheat Voting Chance After Corn Shifts
Ezra Benson hints wheat growers may be allowed to decide on federal controls and price supports after corn growers voted to drop controls. The Agriculture Department plans a final wheat policy decision following the December 15–16 National Agricultural Advisory Committee meeting. He has urged lowering the price support floor from 75 to 60 percent of parity and proposed authority to raise acreage allotments. Some experts doubt he will permit full elimination of wheat controls.
