Abstract: Since the beginning of production adjustment programs in the 1930's the referendum method has been used to obtain — direct from individual producers — an expression of their desire for or against the initiation or continuation or an adjustment measure. The first actual referendum was held in 1934, on the question of a corn-hog adjustment program in 1935. More than half a million signers of the 1934 contract voted in this referendum, and more than two-thirds of the number voting favored the adoption of the new program. On this mandate, the detailed program was formulated and the contracts offered to producers. The following tables list results of referendums held on marketing quotas for the basic crops as provided by the Act of 1938 and its later amendments.
