Farm Budget Slash Urged By President
President Roosevelt urged a 1945 farm program totaling 658,849,592 dollars, the smallest since 1934, due to elimination of parity payments. He argued subsidies must be kept to prevent price rises, with food subsidies costing about 1 billion dollars, and urged prompt action so War Food Administration can set support prices before planting. The speech cited 1943 farm output aiding troops and Allies, while calling for continued production increases.
