Government price supports reach billions in farm aid
The Farm and Home Adviser Office reports a total price support commitment of about 8.5 billion dollars, with expectations to rise as Congress considers a larger authorization. The program funds basic crop supports averaging over 218 million annually, while storage costs top 30 thousand dollars per hour and 700 thousand daily, amounting to a quarter billion each year. Secretary Benson notes surpluses effectively borrow from reserve funds.

The article outlines farmer eligibility for price supports under acreage allotments in 1955. It requires staying within crop allotments, total basic crop acreage limits, and restricts diverting land to nonbasic crops except certain passable uses. It notes a month long price decline driven by lower hag and cattle prices, with some crops inching up.

Economy shows farm price stability amid lower harvest season
The June parity ratio fell to 88 the lowest since March 1941 though Agriculture Secretary Benson says the drop reflects market timing not a weakening in the price structure. Export markets remain strong and farmers may benefit as the 1954 season grows with loan programs easing sales.
