Wheat Farmers To
Vote on Controls
Washington (UPD Wheat
farmers in 39 states will vote
Thursday in a national refer
endum to determine whether
their 1980 crop will be grown
under the rigid government
marketing controls that have
been in effect for several
years.
Under the existing program,
wheat surpluses have grown
until there is enough wheat
on hand to meet all domestic
and foreign requirements for
more than two years.
Few persons like the exist
ing program but it probably
will get the necessary two
thirds majority because grow
ers regard it as better than
nothing. :
The program provides for
planting allotments totaling
55 million acres, marketing
quotas based on the allot
ments, and price supports at
the present minimum level of
75 per cent of parity or not
less than $1.77 per bushel.
