Tue Oct 23, 2007 By Jonathan Lynn GENEVA (Reuters) - Government support to farmers in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) fell in 2006 both in cash terms and as a share of farm receipts, the OECD said on Tuesday. But the drop was due mainly to rising world food prices rather than changes in policies, as less support was provided to prop up domestic prices, the OECD, which groups developed countries, said in a report. http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSL236826020071023?sp=true
