Farm Vote Hits Benson Policy
Washington reports the House Agriculture Committee backed a one year extension of price supports at 90 percent of parity through 1955 reacting to Benson’s push for flexible supports. The panel voted 21 to 8 to insert the extension into the omnibus farm bill and send it to the House. The current law ties parity to a fixed 90 percent level for major crops, with flexible supports remaining in place until new legislation, despite Benson's veto threat.
