Fair Return To Farmers Is Program Aim
Secretary Brannan outlined a farm price plan focused on ensuring farmers receive a fair income rather than lowering consumer food costs. The administration aims for production just above consumer demand and uses cash payments to farmers to offset any shortfall, while avoiding a consumer subsidy. Brannan rejected Taft’s $6 billion estimate and warned against equating the plan with price-damping for shoppers.

Brannan argues against fear of high costs, saying the program targets avoidance of depression by keeping farm incomes stable. It would support perishable goods with subsidies when prices fall and use loans and purchases for storeables, replacing the Aiken act next January 1 with a flexible price support system.
