Farm subsidy plan sparks protest by House Democrats
Senior House farm bloc Democrats warned that a pending measure to deny subsidies to large nonfarm corporations could push thousands of family farmers off land rented from corporations and trusts. Rep W R Poage called it punitive and warned it would hurt absentee landlords, while Rep Richard Nolan sought to restrict aid to sole proprietorships and farmer-owned entities as part of the farm bill debate.

Farm subsidy ban targets nonfarm corporations and tenants
The Senate Agriculture Committee backed a ban on payments to nonfarm corporations and their tenants, while a House panel deadlocked 13-13 on allowing tenants to receive subsidies. Nolan argued the measure mainly targets large corporate owners, estimating about 2000 corporation-owned farms could be affected. Foley warned against hurting tenants leasing from ineligible owners. A grandfather clause for current tenants stalled, and EPA pesticide program funding was tentatively extended to $46 million for one year starting Oct. 1.
