Wheat Stabilization Averted Billions Losses Says Stone
Chairman James C. Stone of the federal farm board told the American Institute of Cooperation that stabilizing actions in wheat and cotton saved the country from about a billion-dollar hit. He insisted prices would have collapsed to 50 cents a bushel in Chicago without board intervention and noted potential bank loan losses if wheat prices fell further. He called stabilization temporary, not a cure for persistent overproduction, and warned of slim chances for profitable wheat prices abroad while cotton could compete with quality and reduced production.
