WHEAT SUPPORT
TO AVERAGE AT
LEAST $1.78 IN '61
The'nrice of the 1961 Wheat
crop will be supported at a mini
mum National "average, of $1.78
per bushel jf marketing quotas
are in effect, according to Novile
Hawkins of the county office' of
Agricultural , Stabilization and
Conservation. The final rate for
all counties in North Carolina is
f 1.97' per bushel for U, S. No.
grade wheat.
The 1961 minimum rate reflects
75 percent of the estimated parity
price for wheat as of the begin
ning of the next -marketing year,
July 1, 19617 The level is indicat
ed on the basis of wheat supplies
available at that time.
Mr. Hawkins points out , that
with announcement of the price
support final rate farmers now
have the full information concern
ing tlhe 1961 wheat program that
will be available in advanceof the
marketing quota referendum ' Ju
ly 21. ' ,
- If at least two-thirds of the
farmers who vote in the referen
dum approve marketing quotas,
there will be penalties for 'excess
wheat produced in 1961 : and the
$1.78 ' minimum National average
support rate will 'be in effect If
more, than one-third of those who
vote oppose quotas, there will be
no penalties but price support will
drop to 50 percent of parity or a-
bout JJ.18 per bushel .2, - ...
v neat supplies lor lyoi-w are
how estimated at ' 2,645 million
bushels, 196.1 percent of the nor
mal supply. A normal supply in
cludes enough wheat to cover do
mestic consumption and . export
needs plus a 20 percent carryover
allowance.
