How Serious Is Farm Situation By Gaylord P Godwin
Washington reports a heated debate over the farm situation with critics arguing farmers suffer financially while Ezra Benson asserts agriculture remains sound. Farm income fell 27 percent from 1952 to 1955, per capita income dropped less, and 1956 earnings may decline further. Prices for goods declined while costs held or rose, signaling a parity slide from 100 in 1952 to around 85 this year. Production remains high, with a harvest likely to top the 1948 record.
