Agricultural Act of 1949 outlines price supports for basic crops
The act establishes price supports for corn, wheat, cotton, rice, tobacco, peanuts, wool, honey, Irish potatoes, and dairy products. It sets parity based levels from 50 to 90 percent with quotas and allotments, outlines loans and disposal rules, and preserves flexible support tied to supply and policy goals.
