Garnett outlines farm export plans before Iowa meeting
Des Moines plans to boost American farm product exports were presented to the Farmers Grain Dealers Association of Iowa. Gwynn Garnett, Foreign Agricultural Service administrator, warned that without more foreign markets American agriculture would drown in surplus. He cited exports rising from 2.8 billion in 1953 to 4.7 billion in 1957 and said most of last year’s CCC surplus reduction went abroad. Walter Berger, CTS administrator, urged lower price supports to curb overproduction and noted dairy supports at 75 percent of parity to spur consumption and reduce excess production.
