As in the past, premiums and discounts used to determine an individual producer's support loan rate will be available. Premiums are unchanged from the 1974 schedule while discounts for light garlicky wheat have been increased to 10 cents per bushel and discounts for garlicky wheat increased to 20 cents per bushel. Red Durum and sample grade wheat, which have un­ desirable qualities, will not be eligible for loans, and discounts for these have been discon­ tinued. Copies of county and state loan rates, as applicable, on 1975 crop wheat are being sent to states and will also be available from the Grain d i v i s i o n , A g r i c u l t u r a l Stabilization and Conservation service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. 20250. County loan rates on 1975 crop wheat in major wheat p r o d u c i n g a r e a s w e r e a n ­ nounced this week by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The county rates are based on a national average loan rate to $1.37 per bushel ~ unchanged from the 1974 average loan rate -- that was announced Nov. 27, 1974. Many county loan rates have been adjusted to reflect recent s h i f t s i n p r o d u c t i o n a n d marketing patterns. They vary by production area and reflect differences in demand, tran­ sportation costs and in area-to- area price relationships. As in the past, protein premiums will be added to the loan rates, with higher protein-content wheat eligible for higher loan rates. In computing county loan rates, increased transportation costs generally result in a lowering of the loan rate. Therefore, major wheat producing areas that are far from their markets will generally see a lowering of their county loan rates while those areas close to markets may see an increase. Specifically, county rates have been generally reduced in the Northern Great Plains, Pacific Southwest and South on their anniversary. They celebrated it on May 22. Many, many more.
