Jobs for Farmers: Plan Aimed at Easing Drought Suffering
Federal emergency relief officials shape a plan to employ distressed Midwest farmers on public works to earn cash for seed and feed. The program would pay at least 30 cents an hour for up to thirty hours weekly, funding road building, water conservation, and other productive tasks. Labor earnings would replace commodity grants and help farmers buy back corn stored in cribs. Officials weigh whether existing relief funds can cover the plan as unfinished CWA projects gain priority.
