Demand for change in wheat standards to aid farmers
The Senate agriculture committee demanded changes in wheat standards saying current rules defraud farmers and discount lower grades too heavily. It cites heat-shriveled wheat selling at about 1.50 a bushel, while mills seek to convert it to high grade flour priced on No 1 wheat. Chairman Gronna will present the demand to Julius Barnes of the U S grain corporation.
