Dole Opposes Farm Purchase Plan in Capitol Hill Hearings
Capitol Hill hearings on McGovern’s Young Farmers Homestead Act reveal broad support for aiding young farmers but opposition to government purchase of farms. Sen. Dole and a bankers spokesman warn against government involvement, favoring credit-based routes via Land Bank or Farmers Home Administration. The proposal would create a new Agriculture Department corporation to buy land, lease to youth for seven years, then sell at 75 percent of market value. Area forecast notes unsettled weather with thunderstorms and warm highs.
