Farmers' View Widens- Agriculture Won't Be Key Vote Issue
Washington July 5 Republican farm leaders on Capitol Hill say agricultural issues will not decide the farm vote in November. Rep. Cliffora R Hope notes other issues like foreign policy and corruption may swing more votes than grain storage or price supports. Sen. George D Aiken agrees, calling conflicts within parties stronger than those between Republicans and Democrats on farm policy. Hope supports pegging sun to 90 percent of parity, while Aiken backs flexible support levels. Both say the expiring 82nd Congress made few farm-law changes and praise watershed flood prevention programs, though progress was blocked by the House Public Works committee. They foresee more soil conservation focus next term and stress search for higher funding as research costs rise.
