Two-Price Wheat Plan Recommended by Advisory Group

The Wheat Industry Advisory Committee urged Secretary Ezra Taft Benson to adopt a two price plan to support the price of wheat for growers. It would guarantee full parity for the portion used domestically for food, with excess sold on the open market for export or feed, funded by milling certificates and producer certificates, keeping the government out of storage and merchandising. The recommendations are advisory and referred to the Department of Agriculture for consideration.
