Tobacco price support revisions proposed in five state meeting
General Manager Lloyd T Weeks urged changes to grade based tobacco loan rates at a five state session in Raleigh North Carolina. The proposal would cut rates for top grades to 71 cents per pound and raise rates for lower grades. Adopting the plan would lift 1961 crop support by about 0.6 cents per pound if approved in Washington. Rep Byrd Satterfield warned USDA has been following unlawful practices in grade based supports and claimed farmers lost about 50 million dollars over ten years for parity shortfalls.
