Dairyman Would Get More Corn
The War Food Administration may launch a three price system for corn this fall to channel more grain to dairy and poultry production and avert dairy herd and poultry flock losses in short feed areas. The plan would keep corn price at $1.07 a bushel while not disturbing milk and meat prices, with dairy buyers paying the lowest price and feeders the highest. Government subsidies would move grain to deficit regions east south and west where grain is scarce while midwest stocks stay strong.
