Grain bounty seen for 1938 crop reductions
Washington officials said wheat farmers may receive a 20 to 25 cent bounty per bushel on 1938 grain if they cooperate with the Agricultural Adjustment Administration to cut next year’s plantings from 80 million to 50 million acres or less. Benefits hinge on congressional approval of a 212 million dollar farm relief fund and the balance from a 500 million soil conservation appropriation.
