Farm prices rise 4 percent in March report
Washington reports a 4 percent jump in farm product prices for the month ended March 1, offset by a 1 percent rise in prices paid by farmers.

Farm leaders press Eisenhower to sign a price support freeze bill, while Benson cheers the surge as showing underlying strength amid seasonal factors. Senators Carlson and Young say the rise does not justify a broader policy shift, citing weather as a key factor.
