Show Card Necessary To Market 1941 Wheat Crop Each wheat producer will have to obtain a marketing card in order to market wheat of the 1941 crop without paying a penalty of 49 cents per bushel, Sidney J. Nebeker of Laketown, chairman of the Utah State AAA committee, said Saturday. This is in accordance with the wheat marketing quota plan which iras approved by 6.560 wheat growers grow-ers of the state in the referendum referen-dum held May 31. Only 368 growers grow-ers voted against quotas in the state, he said. 'The first step in securing a marketing card." he explained, "is to have each farm measured to determine fee acreage seeded to wheat in 1941. As soon as these measurements are made and the acreages computed, notices will be sent to each farm operator showing show-ing the measured ccerage and the ' r.urr.'cer cf bushels of excess wheat j prcduced hi these cases where the i li41 seeded acerage was in excess o: the wheat acreage allotment. 1 Thus preliminary measuring has been done in nearly all counties , of fee state and all growers who have seeded within allotments, un- i cer 15 acres, or whose normal . yield on fee acreage seeded is not in excess of 200 bushels may now obtain marketing cards. A notice is not sufficient to market mar-ket w:heat even though there is no marketing excess, he said. But where an excess is determined deter-mined under provisions of the marketing quota law, this excess may be taken care of in any one of the following methods: 1. Store the excess wheat under bond. 2. Deposit with the treasurer of fee county association ware-jhouse ware-jhouse receipts to be held in escrow es-crow of an amount of wheat equal to the marketing excess. 3. Deliver the excess wheat to fee Secretary of Agriculture. 4. Pay the penalty of 49 cents per bushel on all the marketing excess. "But it is fee hope of fee state AAA committee that most of the ! excess wheat will be either stored j under bond or be taken care of ; by depositing with the treasurer of the county association warehoues receipts to be heid in escrows," Mr. Xebeker said. And he added that if one of these two methods are used it may be possible to avoid the penalty pen-alty altogether. If the acreage is reduced next year or the yield is low enough to offset the excess this year fee penalty will be reduced re-duced or eliminated depending on the extent of the reduction. j |
