Potato Growers Face Price Supports Cutoff Over Controls
Secretary of Agriculture Brannan warned potato growers they must accept regional marketing agreements and orders or lose government price supports. He noted $379,000,000 spent to support prices in three years and $72,500,000 allocated for this year, with possible shortfall. Brannan cited seven designated production areas covering 51 percent of the 1948 crop and 62 percent of the late crop and warned California early-potato growers their rejection last June could cost them price supports next year unless they reverse.
