Another provision contained in this law provides that no acreage seeded to wheat for harvest as grain m 1958 or thereafter in ex cess of the wheat acreage allot ment on any farm, regardless of the size of the wheat allotment, shall be considered in establish ing future States, county, or farm acreage allotments. The revision in farm law relat ing to acreage allotments and marketing quotas ‘will enable a livestock and poultry producer Who has a small allotment or no allotment to increase his wheat production in 1958 and thereafter and not be liable for marketing quota penalties. A number of limitations are placed on the production and use of wheat under the new provision. Producers, to be eligible to grow up to the 30 acres without pen alty, for the 1958 crop, must sign an application prior to planting time on the farm, or Oct. 15,1957, Whichever is later, and the appli cation must be approved by the county Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation committees. These applications are available in ASC county offices. The application, which will set forth the conditions of the pro gram, must show the intended dis position of the wheat. An applica tion may be cancelled at any time at the producer’s request but mar keting quota piovisions will then apply- If the producer signs up for the feed wheat exemption provision, under the law the entire crop of wheat must be used on the farm where produced for seed, human, food, •or livestock and poultry feed.
