Author Description

Excerpt from Wheat Outlook and Situation: November, 1983 Wheat prices at the farm have been slightly above a year ago, supported by this year's general price surge for feed grains and oilseeds, and a higher loan rate. Because farm prices are still below the loan level, brisk placements of wheat in the CCC loan program also tend to be supportive. The large supply and weaker export demand suggest the farm price may range from to a bushel, compared with last season's average. Wheat producers are facing almost identical decisions for the 1984 crop as they did last year. Participation in an acreage reduction program that includes a payment ih-kind (pik) feature remains an option. The exception is that some program benefits have increased and some have decreased. For this reason, producers will again review their expected benefits before deciding whether to participate. The announced target price of a bushel provides the strongest incentive for entering the 1984 program. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
