Abstract
Acreage functions for wheat, incorporating variables that reflect the value of voluntary acreage diversion programs to producers, are estimated fro 1962-76. The elasticities of response to such programs are generally low in comparison to those for market price, indicating that the reduction of production through voluntary diversion is relatively expensive.
