Government studies curbs to prevent wheat and cotton surpluses
Secretary of Agriculture Charles Brannan outlined plans to limit 1849 crop counting for acreage allotments. Farmers could plant fewer acres without penalties while current laws may reward larger plantings. Aiming to curb excess planting, Brannan proposes notifying farmers their crops won’t be part of future allotment calculations. The plan seeks to prevent large surpluses as winter wheat and cotton crops anticipate high prices. Congress could consider legislation backing Brannan’s proposal, said Elmer Thomas.
