Farm Price Rise Legislation Aims to Help Farmers
Washington negotiates sweeping measures to raise farmers’ purchasing power by restoring wartime price parity. Secretary Wallace can reward reduced acreage, lease land, or sell options on government cotton and use a domestic allotment plan with benefits. Taxes on wheat and cotton fund the program, while trade agreements may curb price-cutting to narrow the farmer consumer price gap.

The farm act could authorize compensating taxes if competition shifts occur, but administrators deem rye output small relative to wheat.
