Wheat growers face parity payments under 1936 plan
The text discusses harvest prospects for 1936 and argues a surplus will depress the corn market. It notes that under the control contract plan the agriculture department aims to enable wheat producers with a domestic allotment to receive parity of 112 a bushel. It warns there is no certainty the domestic or world wheat price will reach 112, so producers getting a benefit payment may gain less that year.
