Economic notes and farm policy in postwar Iowa briefing
A briefing outlines continued but orderly economic adjustment in 1949 with unemployment over four million, steady stock prices, and growing consumer credit. It reports a Brannan Plan replacement with 90 percent parity supports for major crops and varied floors for other products, plus a plan for planting and marketing restrictions. General MacArthur is invited to return for testimony on Far East policy, while a Washington inquiry into five percenters raises questions about transparency and governmental disclosures. The Clay County Fair history highlights attendance growth, milestones, and facilities through 1980s.
