President Truman signed the margarine tax repeal on March 18.

Truman Given Food Picture
President Truman was shown a current view of U S food supplies and production prospects by Secretary Brannan. Officials discussed potential changes in farm programs, noting possible downward adjustments from postwar levels while highlighting rapid gains in poultry hogs and certain vegetables. Technological advances and merchandising have boosted production, with hopes farm output could approach double prewar levels if inputs remain available. International developments in the next two weeks will influence 1951 wheat plans, with a plan to announce by July 18 to give farmers time to prepare for fall crops.
