Farm Board debated by U S House Agriculture Committee
Washington March 8 AP reports details of farm legislation sought by Des Moines conference reps were reviewed by the house agriculture committee. William Hirth chairman of the corn belt panel testified federal control of surplus crops would not upset production balance and a federal farm board could find a solution. He questioned farmers organizations to handle the emergency. He disputed claims that surplus laws would leave the government with the bag. He proposed an equalization fee at the point of resistance for flour mills to the producer's price. He warned the big packer is fighting for his life as small packers save freight. a big packer exit would hurt farmers by removing liquid markets.
