...short haul, Benson's economy-seeking victory could become the costliest cornucopia in the history of subsidies.* In recent years only a small proportion (12% in 1958) of corn farms qualified for high supports by staying inside the Government's acreage limits. Farmers who planted more fed it to livestock, sold it on the open market-or sold it to the Government under a slightly lower price prop, which Benson obligingly extended to such "noncompliance" corn three crops ago.
