House Puts Farm Bill Together
The House Agricultural Committee works on a farm bill with stricter provisions than current law. It proposes abolishing the 1958 feed grain plan, returning to earlier authorization for setting corn and feed grain prices from zero to ninety percent of parity and adding acreage allotments without marketing quotas. The plan would take effect if Congress does nothing or if new law expires.
