Wheat acreage cut ordered for next year by Wallace
Secretary Wallace urged American wheat farmers to reduce 1939 plantings by about 32 percent from 80 million to 55 million acres. The agriculture department will offer benefit payments up to 125 million dollars to those who comply, with the 55 million acre allotment shared among states counties and then individual farmers under the farm act formulas. Noncompliance is allowed but lowers eligibility for maximum payments and loans. The move would make wheat area the smallest since before World War I.
