Parity Formula Change Aims to Stabilize Farm Income
Washington reports a new parity formula to reflect modern farming methods and reduce crop output costs. The shift, urged by Ike administration policy, limits annual parity cuts to 5 percent and ties supports to surplus stocks, with cotton corn and peanuts transitioning to new prices this year and next. Mapping the changes, cotton parity falls from 35.09c to near 34c, corn from 1.82 to about 1.73 and peanuts from 13.6c to around 12.92c, with eventual further adjustments if implemented immediately.
