Panel Defeats Flexible Farm Support Plan
The House Agriculture Committee rejected President Eisenhower’s proposed flexible price supports and voted 21 to 8 to maintain rigid high-level supports through 1955. The decision counters Secretary Taft Benson’s push for a system allowing price adjustments by harvest and shortage conditions, with current parity set at 90 percent for major crops. The vote signals a political clash over farm subsidy policy as debates spill into Congress.
