Poage Defends Soil Bank Payments Amid 1956 Loss Dispute
Rep. Poage asserts the 1956 farm law authorizes soil bank payments to farmers who lost crops to drought floods or disaster. He challenges Agriculture Department officials who said no payments for drought or damaged crops, arguing the law clearly allows payments for reductions below government allotments. The debate centers on whether payments cover drought damaged wheat and other crops and how reductions are calculated under the soil bank rules.
