Roosevelt plan mirrors Farm Board in price support
Washington reports the Roosevelt administration proposes direct government purchases of farm products to stabilize prices. The plan resembles the Hoover Farm Board but imposes no farmer liability for loans, with repayment tied to rising markets and potential government ownership of excess commodities. It could require production restraint and may store or export surplus while easing agrarian tensions in the South.
