New Wheat Adjustment Plan Aims to Shape 1936 39
County Agent I Fred Stine said the wheat adjustment program will start in about two weeks. Compliance forms for the 1935 crop have been mailed to the state office in Blacksburg and payments for 1934 and 1935 will follow after approval in Washington. The four year plan 1936 to 1939 sets 15 percent base reduction for 1936 with 85 to 54 percent planting limits, allows later adjustments within 25 percent, and aims to divert excess wheat to soil and grass crops. The contract permits withdrawal after 1087 if yearly targets are met, with two installment adjustments tied to parity pricing and average wheat prices.
