Benson Tells Spud Growers Why Price Supports Won't Return
Agriculture Secretary Ezra Taft Benson met Maine potato growers in Port Fairfield to explain there will be no price supports. He compared the industry's lagging market access to a car capped at 20 mph on roads built for 50 mph, citing past price support failures that cost taxpayers about 478 million dollars. He urged expanded research and demand creation, noting work on dormant-storage methods and sprout-deterrent chemicals, with about 15 percent of crops already sold in processed forms.

USDA Rejects Breeder Turkey Buying Program
The USDA rejected a proposal to purchase up to 10 percent of heavy breeder turkeys, a measure opposed by Iowa County Cooperative Breeding Association leaders. They warned a large surplus could depress prices in 1955, urging farmers to market breeder stock if viable. The decision echoed prior rejections of dairy and egg industry requests as officials warned of ongoing turkey market trouble.
