Potter area wheat grower and NAWG president Ray Davis backs a target price concept with a cost of production escalator to cushion prices and reduce subsidies if markets stabilize. He cites a $2.28 target price and argues it would enable credit and production expansion without government cost. Davis warns against fixed prices in inflation, notes strong world demand and recent Russian wheat sale boosting markets, and opposes export controls.
