Under the 1964 wheat proigram, as in the past,afarmer ntay sell his wheat production tdl anyone at any price he can get, H. S. Barksdale, Chairman, Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee, said today. This applies whether or not a farmer is cooperating with the program and whether or not he is eligible for marketing certificates.
The Chairman pointed out that neither the domestic nor the export certificates will follow the grain in trade channels. The farmer will receive the value of the certificates at the ASCS county office as a part of the program designed to bolster farmers’ income from wheat. The domestic certificates are valued at 70 cents per bushel, and they apply to the domestic portion of the farm's marketing allocation; the export certificates are valued at 25 cents per bushel and apply to the export portion of the allocation. These certificates as well as wheat diversion payments will be available to wheat growers who participate in all provisions of the 1964 wheat program. A grower who keeps his wheat acreage within his farm allotment will be eligible for a price-support loan on his entire wheat crop, based on a national average of $1.30 per bushel.

Thus, the . total of the loan rate and the domestic certificate will price 1964-crop wheat for domestic consumption at from $2.13 to$2.16per bushel in Virginia. The price producers are expected to received for the export portion of their allocation will be from $1.68 to $1.71 per bushel in
