Two Choice Face Wheat Growers in Today's Election Wheat producers who vote in the August 24 wheat marketing quota referendum must decide between (1) marketing quotas with penalities on wheat pro duced in excess of 10-per cent lower 1962 allotments, a mini mum national average support price of $2.00 per bushel in 1962, and wheat stabilization payments for diverting the 10- per cent wheat acreage from production to conservation; or (2) no wheat marketing restrictions in 1962, no wheat stabilization payments, and price support at 50 per cent of parity to those farmers who comply with their 10 per cent lower 1962 allotments. The cur rent parity price for wheat is $2.37 per bushel. These are the two basic choices facing wheat growers when they cast their ballots for the kind of wheat program that will be in effect for the 1962 crop, Floyd Butterfield. Chairman of the County Agricultural Stabilizah tion and Conservation committee, said today. He further stated that with a continued high level of supply and carryover in pros pect, farmers will vote whether or not to accept wheat marketing quotas for the 1962 crop year. If wheat quotas are to become effective, they must be approved by at least two-thirds of the growers voting in the referen dum. If quotas are not approved by wheat producers. those who choose to stay within their acreage allotments will lie eligi ble for price support at 50 per cent of parity’. However, in this case, there w’ould be no penal ties for excess production and no wheat stabilization payments for devoting the diverted acreage to conservation use.
