Washington AP reports supporters seek a $30 million boost for the REAP farm conservation program. The plan would raise funds in Congress while Agriculture Department officials privately view the increase as unlikely to survive. REAP covers half the cost of soil and water conservation practices, tracing to the 1930s origins and facing repeated White House attempts to trim funding.
