Farm aid funds cut 15 percent in proposed plan
House Agriculture Committee narrowly backs a 5.5 billion alternative to the 6.5 billion proposal. Larry Combest argues for full funding to aid Panhandle and South Plains farmers, warning the shorter package may fail to meet 2001 crop year needs. The plan restricts access to funds and shapes allocations for AMTA, oil seeds, peanuts, cottonseed and other commodities.
