Benson urges soil bank approval to curb farm surpluses
Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson told the Senate Agriculture Committee that the administration’s soil bank plan could be enacted this year if Congress acts promptly. The program would pay about one billion dollars annually to farmers who agree to cut corn, wheat, cotton, and rice acreage by up to 45 percent to curb surpluses and raise farm income. Benson cited three causes of agricultural difficulties including war price supports, high carryovers, and a rigid cost structure, urging broad participation to ensure success.
