Crop support list declines despite ample farm price programs
Washington reports Uncle Sam’s investment in surplus farm products under farm price support programs has fallen nearly 60 percent since a record last year. The Agriculture Department said the investment stood at 1.79 billion on August 31, down from about 4.2 billion previously. Decline reflects surplus products sold in open market or exported to satisfy defense demand. Cotton stocks were depleted to meet needs after last year’s shortfall, and butter stocks were also reduced to cover production gaps.
