Officers of the three major farm organizations propose a third parity revision but urge delay until after the Steagall price support period. Another approach suggests direct payment differentials to bridge 90 percent parity to actual prices. Critics warn the plan could prompt farmers to inflate sales by trading corn among themselves.
The proposal would advantage the livestock feeder who purchases grain in the open market, placing the grower who feeds his crop at a disadvantage.
