Benson challenges Democrats to make farm supports issue
Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson urged Democrats to frame his flexible farm support plan as a presidential campaign issue at the National Press Club. He argued farmers will buy into the program if they understand it and predicted the administration would not be defeated on a fair farm program. Benson outlined four administration objections to the Senate bill including proposed dual parity for several crops, mandatory supports for feed grains, potential dairy surpluses, and a two price plan for wheat that could harm small growers. He also said he would review the wheat plan with his national agri adviser and noted a set aside that would freeze cotton, wheat and neat.
