Guaranteeing Farm Profits Through Army and Lend Lease Plans
New Mexico Representative and future agriculture secretary Anderson suggested a plan to guarantee farm profits by having the army and foreign relief agencies commit to minimum prices for 1946 food needs. He argued this would remove price fear to boost production and urged using the army to contract for 1946 requirements alongside lend-lease estimates. The idea would bind agencies to buy at promised prices even if military needs fall short.
