Federal farm subsidy bill aids disaster struck farmers
A Senate House conference committee backed a measure to authorize federal aid for farmers unable to plant due to natural disasters. The bill would let affected growers substitute crops without loss or benefit payments on their allotted acreage and caps at twenty thousand dollars per farmer. The plan uses land diversion and price support funds from cotton, wheat, and feed grain programs, with the mid-South rainfall cited as prompting urgency.
