Senators Seek Restored 90 Percent Crop Price Supports

A new plan would cap top quality wheat, corn, cotton, rice and peanuts at 90 percent parity while inferior crops receive lower supports, averaging about 85 percent. He cautions that election timing may not guarantee a return to high supports and notes Adlai Stevenson’s possible Democratic candidacy.
