Farm Bill Signed By Eisenhower
Eisenhower signed a farm bill that allows reductions in some price supports and delays cotton and rice acreage cuts for the next year. The move ends a two year policy clash between Secretary Benson and Congress over keeping supports high versus shifting to lower supports and flexible farm management. The bill followed a veto of a support freeze earlier and a last ditch congressional stand by high supporters.
