Thye Predicts Farm Support Bill Passage
Senator Thye of Minnesota predicts the Senate will pass the long-range farm price support plan and its price support feature in both houses if the full bill fails. He notes current supports expire December 31, 1948, risking farmers losing price supports otherwise. The plan would maintain price supports flexible at 60 to 90 percent of parity along with ever normal granary and soil conservation features.
