Benson To Report On Dairy Price Support
Agriculture Secretary Ezra T. Benson planned to submit a report to Congress on dairy price supports.

The program now pays 47 percent of parity with proposals for higher guarantees and temporary subsidies to dispose of surpluses. Congress had asked for a study under the 1954 farm act.
