Farmers Urged to Hold Grain as Wheat Rules May Change
Nebraska Wheat Growers President Carl Bruns of Chappell warns farmers not to harvest excess 1958 wheat yet. A proposed bill backed by western growers could prevent allotment loss for 1958 harvests, with future penalties applying only to cash penalties if sold. Aims to allow excess production as a crop insurance measure, depending on Congress and President Eisenhower's approval. Bruns cautions harvest is individual choice until law finalizes.
