Farm tenancy relief drive faces funding gaps
Gov. Sean Phillips calls the 50 million appropriation a drop in the bucket and says it is only about one million per state. He supports liberal loans from the school land commission and more property for sale or lease to relieve farm tenancy. Phillips has long urged farmer home ownership and freight-rate relief as key steps, with private loans possibly backed by the federal farm security administration. Sen. Josh Lee backs similar ideas in Congress, even if he disagrees with Phillips on other matters.
