Soybean Price Support Boosted for 1966 Crop
The Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee raises the 1966 national soybean price support to 2.50 per bushel, up from 2.25, with an expected 1965 price around 2.60 per bushel. The move aims to stabilize supplies, encourage planting, and allows growers in the 1966 feed grain program to plant soybeans on feed grain acreage and receive support payments.
