House Approves 6.8 Billion Bill With Farm Subsidy Cap
The House sent to the Senate a 6.8 billion agriculture funding bill with a 20 thousand dollar limit on subsidies per operator. Supporters Conte and Findley say excess payments to a few large operators total over 1 million dollars for five firms and over 100 thousand dollars for 388 others, claiming the cap could save about 300 million annually. The measure faces Senate opposition led by Republican Everett Dirksen, with a 224 to 142 vote on the subsidy ceiling and a 321 to 50 approval for the bill overall.
