Farm bill boosts income by 724 million for key crops
President Roosevelt signed the farm bill on May 26 lifting loan rates to 85 percent parity. Edward A. ONeal of the American Farm Bureau Federation says the legislation will add about 724 million to 1941 crop incomes for corn cotton wheat rice and tobacco. He argues the bill ends a 20 year Farm Bureau fight for parity and that consumer groups exaggerate price impacts. He notes farmers receive only about 15 percent of bread’s retail price, citing historical wheat and bread price relationships.
