Government calls corn and rice growers to cut crops
Washington December 81 The Brannan plan asks corn and rice growers to cut plantings by 20 percent and 37 percent respectively to reduce surpluses of about 8 billion dollars. The move follows weak postwar demand and lower prices, with broader cuts across other cash crops planned for 1950 to shrink acreage by over 25 million acres not cultivated. Prices to farmers fall below parity, signaling lower government support levels next year. Eggs see a separate price support adjustment with higher guaranteed buys in January and February. The overall aim is about a 1950 crop of 2.627 billion bushels versus 3.977 billion this year.
