Loveland urges Brannan plan to save economy
Undersecretary of Agriculture Albert J. Loveland warned at the State Farmers Union convention that the Brannan farm price support plan must pass Congress to prevent a national economic crisis. He argued current subsidies inflate consumer costs and that the plan would let taxpayers share farm payments. He stressed understanding and support would grow as the public recognizes agriculture as a base for the economy and the need for high production of perishables.
