Farm Subsidy Proposal Faces Senate Battle

They urged fixing prices to sustainable levels to guarantee farmers a fair return and questioned the need for the $100 million subsidy as price controls could stimulate production without new appropriations.

Congress face for new farm subsidy incentive plan
The proposal would add incentive payments to existing soil conservation and parity programs if Congress approves. For the current year ending June 30, funds total $450 million for soil conservation, $175 million for disposal of surplus commodities and related programs, and $193 million to lift farmer returns to parity. Parity links crop value to the goods farmers buy, based on the 1909-14 period. The Economic Stabilization Act limits price ceilings below parity with exceptions. An agriculture subcommittee will question Secretary Wickard this week about the food production problem.
