1949-63, the yearly average price
received by farmers for the
wheat ranged from three to 17
cents below the average loan
level in 11 of the years, was the
same In one year, and ranged
from one to four cents above
in three of the years.
As a result of the new pro
gram, farm income nationally
from the 1964 wheat crop now
is estimated to total about $2.1
billion, a small decrease from
the $2.3 billion for the 1963 crop
but in marked contrast to the
sharp decline anticipated with
out a new program. Certificate
earnings and diversion pay
ments under trie new program
will account for an estimated
$450 million of the estimated
$2.1 billion 1964 wheat crop in
come. Participating farmers will get
marketing certificates or the
cash value for their share of
domestic utilization and exports.
Certificates are valued at 70c
per bushel for wheat for export
Participants can receive certifi
cates on up to 90 percent of the
normal production on their
wheat allotments.
The certificate provisions will
keep wheat costs for domestic
food use and for net export at
about the levels for these uses
in recent years.
