Change In Controls Change In Controls
Washington AP reports a tobacco advisory committee urged Congress to authorize a grower vote on poundage controls. The move signals a shift from acreage based farm limits to quantity based measures as acreage caps failed to curb surpluses in tobacco and other crops. The proposal reflects Democratic calls from 1960 to pursue quantity controls on major crops.
