Real Job to Hold Prices After War
Iowa State College economist Geoffrey Shepherd, temporary with the Office of Price Administration, argues price supports at 90 percent of parity will be hard to sustain while letting farmers maximize production. He outlines three alternatives: restrict production to meet guaranteed prices, expand consumption, or keep supports flexible, noting past production controls failed and likely won’t boost overall farm income postwar.
