Farm Labor Wage Controls Urged by Poage
House Agriculture Committee Chairman W R Poage urged tying government wage assistance to crop parity levels to ensure fair farm labor pay when prices are low. He noted subsidies total about 3.5 billion dollars yearly and that farmers now receive 74 percent of parity with parity defined by cost relations. Poage said current industrial wages exceed farm pay and a new plan would determine government support as a share of parity.
