Honey Price Regulations
The Department of Agriculture reminds honey producers that the honey-use limitation order (WFO 47 and 47.1) is still in force, even though honey price ceilings were removed at all levels, effective September 27, 1946. Beekeepers, as well as buyers and users of honey, can now sell or purchase honey without being restricted by governmental price regulations. The purpose of WFO 47 is to aid in keeping open the normal market outlets for the sale of honey, and to lessen the possibility of honey going into channels which will not provide a permanent market. At the present time it would be easy to sell a honey crop several times the size of that produced this year, Department officials said. This situation is not expected to last, however.
