Price Support Level* Announced For
1953-Crop Corn and Rice
The U. S. Department of Agricul
ture announced today that the na
tional average level of price support
for 1953-erop corn will be $1.58 per
bushel, and that for 1953-erop rice
will be $4.84 per hundredweight.
These average levels of support
are minimums, representing 90 per
cent of the parity prices for these
commodities as of February 15, 1953.
They will be revised upward if 90
percent of parity as of the beginning
of the next marketing year—August 1953
1, I9'53 for lice and October 1,
for corn—is higher than the respect
ive prices announced today. In no
event, however will the national av
erage support level be lower than
these announced minimums.
The average levels of support for
corn and nice are announced at this
time in accordance with a legislative
requirement that, insofar as practi
cable, the levels of support for field
crops be announced in advance of
the planting season. Legislation al
so requires that for the 1953 and
1954 crops of the “Basic” commod
ities, which include rice and corn, the
level of support shall Ik? 90 percent
of parity.
The price support program for the
1953 crops of corn and rice will be
carried out through Commodity
Credit Corporation loans and pur
chase agreements, as in the current
and previous years.
The national average support price
for 1952-crop corn, now being mar
keted, is $1.60 a bushel, which is 90
percent of the parity price for corn
as of October 1, 19*52, the beginning
of the current marketing year. For
rice the national average support
price for the 1952 crop is $5.04 per
hundredweight, which was 90 per
cent of parity at the time the mini
mum level of support wa sannounced
in February 1952.
