Pennsylvania Farmers Association president Gerald Bigest told 250 Lancaster County Farmers Association members that the federal “Master Plan” would push cheap food with subsidies to farmers, unless growers personally explain to consumers. He blamed 30 years of federal controls for high costs and urged farmers to seek their own production levels as they did after World War II. He cited 1961 and 1965 income and cost figures to illustrate the period’s shifts.
