Higher supports urged by NFO for 1973 crops
National Farmers Organization President Oren Lee Staley urged President Nixon in a telegram dated January 12 to raise price supports for 1973 crops to $1.40 per bushel for corn and to $1.25 for wheat to protect farmers from bankruptcy and temper inflation. He warned large crops would lower prices next fall and argued that controlled production is necessary to avoid economic hardship across rural areas. The Agriculture Department has loosened crop programs this year to boost grain and soybean production.
