Plan To Discourage Large 1949 Cotton And Wheat Crops
U S Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Elmer Thomas said the administration plans to curb wheat and cotton planting in 1949 by making those crops ineligible for average production calculations under acreage allotments. Secretary Brannan outlined the plan, aiming to remove incentives to overplant, with surpluses feared in cotton wheat and possibly corn. Brannan hinted at remodeling the parity formula and a future long term farm policy, while Congress may extend wartime price supports at or near parity.
