The act provides that compensa- tion to farmers for reducing acreage or production be financed out of a processors’ tax on the domestically consumed portion of the commodity served. In addition, the processors’ tax may be used to pay, producers the difference between the open mar- ket pricé of a commodity and the price at which it would have to sell to restore its pre-war ‘pur- chasing power.
