Abstract: | The zonal differentiation of farm procurement prices must be placed on a more scientific footing to help eliminate present inequities in farm incomes and labor payments throughout the country. This requires a review of price zones to insure that the natural and economic conditions of production in each zone are fairly uniform, with additional price differentiation within zones if required by differences in the natural environment (mountains compared with plains). A proper relationship between prices for different farm products within a given zone must also be observed). |
