Cheap Money Could Boost Farm Prices In Senate Debate
The Senate debated farm legislation with Senator Thomas arguing cheaper money would raise agriculture prices and stabilize the level above 1926. Rep Hope opposed a dairy feed crop amendment, warning it would hinder administration of the bill and the soil conservation program. Officials urged careful pacing before the 1938 planting season, and Roosevelt signaled cost limits while Congress must find new revenue. Various senators offered differing views on whether farmers would get a fair share of national income and the potential reach of crop controls.
