House panel approves farm bill labeled unacceptable by Butz
The House Agriculture Committee backed a four year farm bill with lower target price levels, drawing an opposition threat from Agriculture Secretary Earl L. Butz who called the plan unacceptable. The committee approved the measure 31 to 4 with both parties and some Republicans supporting it, aiming for a House vote around July 9. The bill uses a new target price system and includes reductions in subsidy payments to large farmers, with potential escalations tied to costs and productivity.
