Benson labels committee report argumentive and misleading
Ezra Taft Benson writes to Representative Jamie L. Whitten criticizing a May 10 Committee on Appropriations report on 1958 USDA and Farm Credit Administration funding. He argues farm policy must be free from rushed legislation, defends Soil Bank and acreage controls limits, and asserts productivity advances render controls less effective while urging a clear, extended Soil Bank program through 1959.
