Reagan To Sign Drought Bill Aims to Aid Farmers
Washington reports the $5.9 billion drought relief package awaiting President Reagan's signature would aid farmers with crop losses of 35 percent or more. Payments range from 65 to 90 percent of lost income, depending on severity, with some farmers like Keith Salter near Menoken North Dakota expecting about $12,000. The measure is seen as a buffer to help many through the year, though not halting the drought.
