Farm Subsidies Reignite Debate Across Washington
Four years after subsidies propped farmers to plant more, Congress and the Carter Administration push back into subsidizing wheat at 2.90 a bushel while market price hovers around 2.25. Farmers would lose acreage for aid, with 20 percent cuts by next year on wheat and 10 percent on corn. Critics warn higher food prices for consumers and potential inflation without reliable farming guidance. A plan to buy 30 million tons of surplus grain could hedge shortages without reviving broad crop subsidies, potentially feeding an international food reserve without repeating past policy failures.
