Potatoes Targeted as Government Price Supports Cut
Washington officials report a shift in farm policy with the 1939 potato support set at 60 percent of parity, down from 90. Secretary Brannan cites overproduction and higher input costs, proposing a 1,038,300 acre target to align output with demand and seeking legislation to reward acreage adjustments while penalizing overproduction. He also plans to cut supports for several other crops to 60 percent, while basic commodities retain 90 percent support.
