Soil Bank To Reduce Crop Storage Costs
Undersecretary True B Morse told the House Agriculture Committee the soil bank plan could cut in half federal outlays for surplus storage, with the current storage bill around a million dollars daily. A Senate bill would add 100 million over this, plus 750 million for acreage reductions and 350 million for forest and range land conservation. Morse urged urgent legislation to start removing surplus cropland from production as planting season nears in 1956. He noted substantial voluntary cuts and payments to cooperating farmers. A House subcommittee also pressed Benson on beef purchases to bolster markets, citing prime heavyweight steers suffering from low prices.
