Price ceiling on corn would raise meat milk and eggs
Academy economist L. H. Simert argues against a corn price ceiling, saying it would be ineffective and hard to enforce. He notes only eight percent of corn is used for food and that ceilings could raise prices for meat, milk, poultry, and eggs by tightening feed and reducing production, with broader supply shifts and higher consumer costs in 1972.
