Administration Leaders Toy With Farm Price Support Scheme
Washington officials discuss a new farm price support plan proposed by Agriculture Secretary Ezra T Benson. The scheme would let growers set their own support levels, potentially replacing fixed quotas and penalties with a flexible parity-based option. Senate lawmakers doubt its viability, noting it may suit cotton but not all crops, while some officials predict it could work for closer crops. North Carolina swimming team gains five wins plus Turkey.
