Capper Bill Would Test Fertilizer Policy At 2 Percent Farms
Peter Edson reports on a proposed bill backed by Senator Capper to fund an 8 million dollar TVA plant in Mobile Alabama to produce triple super phosphate fertilizer. The plan would supply 100000 tons to the Agriculture Department and offer free shipments minus freight while testing on 2 percent of farms for five years at a 16 million dollar annual cost, then sold to private industry. Fertilizer manufacturers oppose the move, fearing government success could push nationalization and hurt private co operations.
