Democrats Vote Increased Wheat Cotton Subsidies
Democrats and GOP members of the house agriculture committee clashed over a Democratic plan for a soil bank to pay subsidies to wheat and cotton farmers. The proposal aims to add up to 500 million dollars a year to current soil bank payments, with critics fearing a presidential veto. The plan would extend soil bank benefits to corn, peanuts, rice, and commercial crops, tying subsidies to land idle time and crop values rather than fixed percentages.
