E. Buchanan, Chairman of the County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee. The announced minimum support rate will be in effect in the commercial wheat states if wheat growers approve marketing quotas in the referendum on June 25. On wheat, the minimum support rate of $1.82 per bushel in Box Elder County is $.24 cents below the National average of $2.06 per bushel because of the freight rates to terminal markets.
