McGovern Butz clash over wheat sales and farmer losses

Earl Butz calls the charges a bald faced lie while acknowledging some farmers may miss extra gains and notes possible reductions in certain payments. The NAWG urges action to close the price gap and boost early seller payouts by 20 to 25 million dollars.
