Subsidy reform plan blocked by conferees on cotton payments

Lawmakers push lower farm subsidy limits to twenty thousand
Senate and House versions of the farm bill reduce annual wheat cotton and feed grain payment limits to 20000 per farmer. Administration estimates suggest House approved pricing would cost about 800 million for 1974 crops versus 2.8 billion for 1973 crops. Under target price rules subsidies would vanish if prices align with costs, but drops in prices could trigger payments to cover the gap.
