House Bill Would Let U S Farmers Peg Support Rate
Washington June 23 The House Agriculture committee approved a bill letting grain farmers in the Midwest decide price supports for 1956 by majority vote in a government ballot.

Corn farmers would choose between ongoing high supports or flexible flour supports. The measure moves to floor action next week amid late drafting sessions and a hoped Friday vote.
