Wheat Growers Press for Higher Prices and Policy Reform
Nebraska Wheat Growers Association calls for an $3.60 per bushel price support and reestablished acreage allotments to prevent price depression. They seek a Wheat Board modeled after Australia with producer majority, higher tax levies, gasohol plant support, and disaster payments covering all historically allotted acres. John Sullivan elected president. Beverlee Swanson named Wheat Hearts president.
