Benson Defends Farm Policy Amid Income Rise in Midwest
Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson told a press conference and TV interview that farm net income in the East North Central states, including Wisconsin, rose 20 percent above 1957 and that farmer per capita income is at an all time high. He rebutted attacks that the administration pushes farmers off the land and noted a sharper drop in farm population during the Truman years than under Eisenhower. He cited a rural development program and said the family farm remains the backbone of Wisconsin and national agriculture. He acknowledged ongoing cost price squeeze and cited rising farm expenses prior to 1952 and slower growth since 1953.
