Price Support Levels Announced For Corn Under 1957 Alternates
Secretary Ezra Taft Benson announced price support levels and referenda options for 1957 corn programs. Voters on December 11 decide between base acreages with a 1.31 dollar average and Soil Bank participation or acreage allotments at 1.36 dollars, with noncompliance price supports limited to past years. The plan notes large 1956 production and carryover driving reduced allotments and shifts in eligibility under each path.
