Grassley amendment backs 75 percent advance on 1980 crops
The House Agriculture Committee backed an amendment by Rep. Grassley to guarantee a 75 percent advance payment to farmers under any 1980 crop diversion program. The prepayment would occur within 30 days of activation, avoiding July delays and aiding Iowa farmers facing high costs and credit strain. The bill, tied to a paid land diversion plan for seed grain, awaits House floor action.
