Rural development bill eyed to aid farmers and credit
Aiken said the aim is a unified rural development program with a strong water and sewer component. Funding remains inadequate but farm credit access should not be reduced, and the bill seeks to expand farm credit while avoiding duplication. He joined Talmadge Humphrey and Young in sponsoring the measure, noting weeks of study and possible changes before enacting in 1972 to incentivize rural life.
