Tighter Farm Squeeze Seen
The Agriculture Department forecast higher marketing charges will trim farmers’ share of the consumer food dollar to about 40 cents in 1956, with 1955 at 41 cents. It noted processing and distribution costs likely stay elevated, while farmer prices for food products fell 7 percent in Q3 1955 versus 1954. Senator Douglas signaled Democrats will push an income support plan next year to aid small farmers, aiming for roughly 90 percent of parity rather than strict price floor.
