Butz backs Carter on price supports in farm bill stance
Former Agriculture Secretary Earl L. Butz says the Carter administration is on the right track opposing high price supports in Congress, noting Senate and House versions exceed Carter’s proposed levels. He cautions a Senate compromise could trigger a veto, and supports market oriented programs over subsidies while Bergland pushes broader reforms. He also mentions plans for Bergland’s Asia trip and a World Food Council meeting in Manila.
