The Secretary explained that there are, in effect, two acreage allotments for wheat under the law. The basic 1967-crop acreage allotment applicable to most wheat farms in major wheat-producing states is 56 million acres, compared with 47.8 million acres this year. Another allotment of slightly more than 4 million acres will be available to producers who planted small acreages under previous legislation which gave farmers an opportunity to plant wheat in excess of their farm allotment, up to 15 acres. The comparable total in 1966 was 3.8 million acres. As in previous years, eligibility for price support loans and wheat marketing certificates is contingent upon the producer planting within his allotment and complying with other conservation or program provisions. However, bei cause of the increased allotments, no acreage diversion will be required for the 1967 crops. Further details of the 1967 wheat program, including states and farm allotments, price support, and marketing certificates will be announced shortly, but no later than June, Farmers can expect to have :heir 1967 farm allotment norice by July 1.
