Farm program under scrutiny marked by surpluses
Ezra Taft Benson warns the nation has a broad farm problem affecting all sectors. The government holds about 5 billion dollars in farm commodity investments and farmers carry similar loan debt, with monthly storage costs around 14 million dollars. He notes price supports remain at 90 percent of parity through 1954, yet prices have fallen from wartime peaks. He outlines past pressures from World War II to Korea and lists tours in Idaho for livestock producers, with dates from January 13 to January 23 across multiple counties.
