Farmers Favor Parity Prices at Midwest Farm Conference
At a Sioux City meeting of Republican leaders from 18 midwest states and six Rocky Mountain states farmers voiced support for parity prices if surpluses are manageable. The Farmers Union backed the Brannan plan of price support via supply and demand with direct subsidies, while Dems at Des Moines also favored it. The event aims to shape 1952 farm policy and party alignment, amid concerns over Iowa’s electoral votes and farmer sentiment.
