Senate Debates $821 Million Agriculture Bill Fight Looms
The Senate opened consideration of a large agriculture department supply bill amid a fierce clash over farm security administration provisions. House action funded FSA liquidation with a Senate add of 29.6 million and a 97.5 million borrowing authorization for rural rehabilitation loans, plus 30 million for Bankhead-Jones farm purchases. The bill expands spending by 102.6 million for next year while House-passed totals are lower. the soil conservation program gains 100 million with parity pricing implications. The American Farm Bureau opposes the FSA, while some major farm groups support it. The dispute centers on parity price calculations and whether soil payments should be included.
