Farm Prices Are
Not Inflationary
NFU Pres. Says
WASHINGTON, T).C., April
6 National Farmers Un
ion president Tony T De
chant called statements that
current farmers’ prices are
inflationary false. saying,
“nothing could be further
from the truth ”
Testifying before the Sen
ate Appi opnations Subcom
mittee on Agriculture, De
chant also urged incieased
USiDA appropriations to as
sist family tanners and iu
ral Americans
Dechant said that “in spite
of some increase in the
price of a few commodities,
the parity ratio is only at
82 percent, the average in
come of persons on farms
is less than two-thirds the
per capita income of the non
farm population, and farm
ers who are only 7 percent
of the population are icceiv
ing only 2.9 percent of the
Nation’s income excluding
income from services. Un
der these circumstances,
farmers’ prices are NOT in
flationary.
“Until the goal of parity
is reached, farmers are en
titled to puce increases The
tact is that with production
costs on the rise price ad
vances are needed yust to
stand still ’’
