Kennedy proposes subsidies to spur cotton sales
President Kennedy sent Congress a consumer oriented farm message proposing federal subsidies to boost cotton sales and to encourage voluntary production curbs on feed grains and milk. The plan also includes direct payments to cotton trade and milk and grain producers, aiming for a stable farm economy and lower consumer prices, with an estimated taxpayer savings of 300 to 500 million dollars and butter prices potentially 10 cents per pound lower. He urged wheat growers to accept a tight control program for the 1964 crop via a spring referendum, warning against unlimited production and depression conditions.
