Farm wage bills could lift labor costs for farmers
Donald Johnson of Plains Cotton Growers warns farm labor wages may rise steeply as House and Senate push bills. House proposes 1.50 and 1.70 for agriculture this year and next. Senate offers 1.60, 1.80, with larger jumps through 1975. Johnson notes potential cotton ginning cost rise about five dollars per bale if the Senate plan prevails.
