Farm Price Fight Opens in Senate over Parity Support
The Senate, led by Senator Anderson and with ties to Secretary Brannan, debated farm price support aims ranging 75 to 90 percent of parity for basic crops. The Brannan plan would allow free markets with subsidies to maintain parity, while the Anderson bill underwrites prices more directly. Government set October hog price supports at $16.40 per 100 pounds to assure at least 90 percent parity.
