Senate responds to farm bill push with simplification aim
Washington January 15 The Senate agriculture committee leader McNary pledges to simplify and broaden the farm relief bill to fit constitutional limits. He says a 20 percent cropacreage cut would be required, dairymen and hog producers face reductions, and a presidential proclamation would enable a second year. The bill adds a processing tax to cotton, silk, rayon and oils, with existing duties raised accordingly. Holman of the National Cooperative Milk Producers Federation calls the tariff shift a major agriculture victory.
