The 1963 Wheat Referendum: An Interpretation

Lynn M. Daft

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1964, vol. 46, issue 3, 588-592

Abstract: In May 1963, U.S. wheat farmers voted down a government sponsored wheat program. The purpose of this article is to ascertain the relationship between the outcome of the referendum and a selected group of five independent variables. A multiple linear regression technique was used in analyzing the data for 28 wheat producing states. The results generally suggest that part-time farmers and Farm Bureau members voted against the program while small wheat producers, tobacco growers, and supporters of John F. Kennedy voted for its passage.
