Farm Bureau Heads Draft Suggested Future Control Plan
Corn belt farm leaders endorse a major revision of the national corn hog program to start in 1936. Proposals include lower hog processing tax, flexible contracted acres, two thirds 1934 payments for 1935, removal of hog production limits, a $1 per head adjustment, and taxes on corn and hogs plus a 75 percent parity loan. Plans aim for a one-contract-per-farm system linked to a broader grain control program.
