Wheat Bill Drafted For Nebraska Growers Fund
A proposed wheat utilization bill would create a research and promotion fund funded by Nebraska growers. Growers pay up to a half cent per bushel at first sale, usually the country elevator, with funds managed by the Department of Agriculture. If a government loan is issued, the deduction would come from the loan. The money supports crop improvement, pest control, disease control, and new uses for wheat and by products.
