In 26 states, about 2.5 million eligible farmers vote in 923 areas on two corn programs. One plan ends acreage allotments and sets national price supports at 1.12 to 1.15 dollars, with 90 percent of three-year average parity. The other maintains allotments, with 75 percent parity and an 18 percent cut in commercial area acreage to 32 million acres. Ezra Taft Benson backs the new plan and the American Farm Bureau Federation supports it. The National Grange says neither option will stabilize prices.
