He said the plan would force high prices for farm goods while selling them at lower prices, costing about 6 billion dollars to taxpayers and cities. Taft argued farmers are already well off with prices near parity and noted store prices and farm prices diverge. He spoke before Rotary clubs at Lebanon High School and later in London Ohio meeting workers and voters.
