purpose of distributing

should such payments be
required.
The department also
announced:
- The average loan rates in
effect in 1974 for wheat and
feed grains will be continued
at the same levels for the
1975 crops. The present per
bushel loan rates are $1.37
for wheat, $l.lO for com,
$1.05 for grain sorghum
($l.BB per hundredweight),
$0.90 for barley, $0.54 for oats
and $0.89 for rye.
- There will be no loan
programs for soybeans, dry
edible beans, fabcseed, gum
naval stores and honey,
beginning with the 1975
crops. The department said
little use has been made of
the loan program for these
permissive-support com
modities in recent years
because market prices are
two to three times loan
levels. Continuation of loan
support on these com
modities when not needed
would require unnecessary
administrative ex
penditures, the department
pointed out.
- Wheat and feed grain
loans will no longer have
identical maturity dates but
will mature 12 months from
the first day of the month in
which the loan is made. This
procedure should assure

producers more flexibility in
marketing crops under loan.
- A purchase program for
honey for which price sup
port is mandatory will
continue to be available.
- Resale prices per bushel
(not including carrying
charges which vary) will be
$2.36 for wheat, $1.59 for
com, $1.51 for grain sorghum
($2.70 per hundredweight)
and $1.30 for barley. This
established rate of resale
will assure producers that
government-owned grain
which may be acquired will
not be used to drive market
prices down to target levels.
Oats and rye which do not
have target prices will be
resold at $0.78 and $1.28 per
bushel averages, respec
tively, plus carrying
charges, which makes the
resale prices comparable to
these commodities which do
have target prices.
A resale policy on any
honey acquired under the
purchase program will be
announced later.
On April 11 the department
announced a 1975 national
wheat allotment of 53.5
million acres. The allotment
does not represent a limit on
the amount of wheat that
may be planted. It is used
solely to determine what
payments would be made to
wheat growers if the national
average market price for
wheat during July-
November 1975 falls below
$2.05 a. bushel. The 1974
national wheat allotment
was 55 million acres and
farmers planted 70 million
acres.
