Senate Debates Compulsory Crop Control Bill Amid Roosevelts Warning
Senate agricultural committee approved a broad crop control measure raising farm benefit costs by an estimated 150 to 300 million dollars without new revenue provisions. The plan couples voluntary and compulsory acreage and marketing controls with soil conservation subsidies and parity payments tied to crop conditions and prices. It allocates penalties and quotas across wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco, and rice, aiming to stabilize farm incomes and remove surpluses.
