Eisenhower's Secretary of Agriculture, Ezra Taft Benson, implemented some "pro-market" reforms that were very unpopular with farmers. I dont know the details but it likely involved slashing subsidies. Ironically, Benson may have also been the reason for Eisenhower's surge in Utah, as he was an LDS Apostle and the first Mormon ever appointed to the Cabinet.
