New Farm Bill Favored by Brannan in Compromise Plan
Secretary of Agriculture Brannan is described as favorable toward a Senate subcommittee draft farm price support bill, favoring a compromise over the earlier subsidy plan. The measure would continue high level supports for major crops for a year and repeal the Aiken law, with Brannan proposing market prices for perishables and production payments to shield farmer income. The Anderson bill would set supports at 90 to 75 percent of parity for key crops and extend similar levels to storable products, with gradual parity reductions.
