Agriculture Secretary Clif ford M Hardin officially called off a nationwide wheat grower referendum on marketing quotas scheduled for this week. President Nixon signed a measure postponing the mail referendum, which was to run July 27 to 31, set to implement mandatory wheat controls for 1971. Congress is considering an omnibus farm bill to replace the expiring Food and Agriculture Act.
