Tobacco growers press for lower price supports in Washington
A group of tobacco growers testified before the House agriculture committee urging lower government price supports as high fixed prices push American tobacco out of foreign markets. Ray Vicker reports a Rhodesian official says free markets favored by mechanized U S farming could have spurred tobacco growth, with government policy now shifting markets to Rhodesia and other nations. The passage notes broader agricultural subsidies costing tax dollars and affecting employment across sectors. Glenda Kendall and Vivian Hatch are among local attendees at various gatherings and visits mentioned in a sprawling community roundup.
