Program provisions for the 1968-crop wheat which are identical to those in effect for the 1967 crop include (1) no acreage diversion program (and therefore no alternate nonsurplus crop production), (2) continuation of the substitution provision for wheat and feed grains for growers participating in both programs, and (3) continuation of the “excess wheat option" (whereby a producer can plant up to 50 per cent in excess of his allotment acreage and still be eligible for marketing certificates and price-support loans if the excess production is stored and other terms and conditions of the program are met.)
In announcing these major provisions of the 1968 wheat program, Secretary of Agriculture Freeman said, “The 1968 wheat program will assure an ample supply of wheat to meet all needs, both domestic and foreign, and will protect farm income. Total wheat income for 1968 will be around the levels for the 1967 and 1966 crops, or between $500 and $600 million more than under programs which were in effect prior to the Food and Agriculture Act of 1965."
