Carter Aims At Food Aid Bill With Energy Research Push
A proposed agricultural act of 1977 would renew the Food for Peace program at 1.45 billion annually by 1981 and extend food stamps for four years at about 5.4 billion yearly. The bill faces budget constraints and possible veto threats from President Carter as Senate and House committees weigh price supports and surpluses in a high weather scenario.

Lounsberry Backs Farm Tax Change in Iowa
Iowa Agriculture Secretary Robert Lounsberry argues shifting the tax base to 100 or 75 percent of agricultural productivity will raise some short term taxes but benefit farmers and the state long term. He cites a $12 per acre initial rise, with higher taxes as land values inflate, noting inflation pushed Iowa land values up 356 percent in a decade and rising 26 to 40 percent yearly.
