Farm program outlines parity loans under O Nea l plan
The scheme ties parity prices to 1909 14 purchasing power and would raise market prices to loan levels. Loans would be at least 85 percent of parity with minimums around 95 cents a bushel for wheat 69 cents for corn and 13.39 cents a pound for cotton. A strict production control would penalize non cooperating farmers for exceeding marketing shares. Parity payments would be eliminated though Congress has allocated 650 million dollars since 1938 and farmers seek 50 million yearly for soil conservation.
