may be marketed free of pen
aly if marketing quotas are
made effective for the 1964 wh
eat crop. However, all wheat
from a farm winch had no wh
eat history in the 1959-61
period would be subject to a
marketing quota penalty.
Under Quotas, he said, a
small lam operators who does
not elect to participate in the
wheat program as an allotment
grower would be able to stay
out of the program, and plant
wheat up to the larger of his
1964 allotment or his three
year base, but not more than
15 acres, without being subject
to marketing quota penalties.
Penalties would apply 'to wheat
in excess of this limit.
If a farmer elects not to
participate in the program, he

the May 21 referendum, Pen
nay said, and would not be eli
gible for price supports or di
version payments.
Small farmers who don’t
have enough wheat to market
with their certificates because
yields are below normal due to
drought or other causes,' he
said, may redeem unused certi
ficates at the local ASCS office
at the rate of 70 cents a bush

“Small growers should also
keep in mind that they (have
the option of diverting all of
their wheat acreage to soil-con
serving uses,” Pennay pointed
out.
Farmers who divert all of
their acreage will receive an
average county rate of $37.62
an acre, he said. However acre
age diverted under this option
must be in addition to ‘the nor
mal 10 per cent conserving
base already taken out and re
flected on the individual allot
ment cards.
If at least two-thirds of the
growers voting in the referen
dum approve quotas for the 19-
64 wheat crop, price support
will be available to participat
ing growers who keep within
their acreage allotment at $2.-
20 a bushel on certified wheat,
and $1.50 a bushel on non-cer
tified wheat, plus diversion
payment will be made to grow
ers on acreage diverted from
wheat production into a con
serving use (including the acre
age reduction reflected in the
farm allotment).
If more than a third of the
growers voting in the referen
dum oppose the 1964-crop wh
eat quotas, price support at 50
per cent of parity (about $1.35
a buslhel) will be available to
participating growers who keep
within their acreage allot
ments.
Without quotas, no diversion
program would be in effect.
As in the past the allotments
will remain in effect, whether
