WASHINGTON, D.C. - A 1982
national wheat marketing quota of
2.459 billion bushels was an
nounced recently by Secretary of
Agriculture John R. Block.

To become effective, marketing
quotas must be approved by two
thirds of the producers voting in a
referendum held not later than
August 1. If approved, quotas
would limit the quantity of wheat
which a producer could market
without penalty. The date for this
referendum will be announced
later, if necessary.

other marketing quota aspects of
the 1982 wheat program because

In 1977, a similar situation arose
and a 1978 national wheat
marketing quota was announced,
but the required referendum was
postponed by special legislation.
The Food and Agriculture Act of
1977, enacted September 29, 1977,
suspended marketing quotas
through the 1981 crop.
