Truman Confirms Brannan Farm Program to Drive 1950 Dem Campaign
President Truman will keep the Brannan income subsidy as the Democratic farm plank for 1950. He told National Farmers Union leader Jim Patton the farm program will be defended in the face of Congress, calling the battle a chance to expose lawmakers' positions.
