Farmers Reject Wheat Controls for Next Year
West Texas and national wheat growers voted down the proposed 1964 crop controls by a large margin. Only Jones County approved, while Haskell and Stonewall counties showed mixed results. A two-thirds majority was required for the plan to take effect, which would have issued certificates and set price supports and diversion incentives. If Congress does not act, marketing quotas will not apply next year.
