Farm policy aims to simplify programs and boost crops
The plan seeks Congress approval to simplify operation of farm programs and allow more flexible cropping, especially soybeans, on diverted grain acreage. It preserves the secretary of agriculture's authority to set price supports and adjust features, while urging cooperation with livestock farmers to keep fair prices and markets. Mr. Johnson proposed transferable acreage allotments and leases so family farmers can expand or former growers can monetize their allotments, with annual diversion and allotment measures continuing.
