Grass roots hearing on farm price supports in Oklahoma
About 300 people attended the Oklahoma A&M field house as Julius Cox of Boise City testified at the 11th cross country grass roots hearing on farm price supports. Cox warned that current programs shift income to farmers while surpluses rise, criticizing the move from high rigid to flexible supports as still largely rigid at 75 percent of parity. He noted sorghum supports have fallen since 1950 while corn stays high, and said farmers have shifted crops to sorghums due to unprofitable wheat crops. Senator Ellender pressed for solutions, but Cox admitted he lacked an answer.
