Wheat exporters are required to buy export certificates for any lot of wheat exported whenever the U. S. price is less than the world price. Whenever the U. S. price exceeds the world price, an export subsidy is paid to the exporter to make the wheat competitive in world markets.
The world market price for the 1968 crop of wheat was at times higher than the U. S. price, and an export certificate pool accumulated. The original law provided for this pool to be divided pro rata among wheat producers. For most producers, it would be a payment of only a few dollars - less than a dollar, in fact, for many.
The new law allows them either to receive their pro rata share, or leave it in the pool to be used in research and promotion of U. S. wheat.
