Lawmaker develops plan to raise farm subsidy per acre cap
Rep Paul Findley of Illinois proposes a new subsidy method linking payments to acres retired rather than a fixed per-farmer cap. He notes 1971 per acre payments varied by state, with averages near 72.30 and state figures from Rhode Island to Arizona. He aims for about 75 per acre, easing impact in states like Nebraska and Kansas while shifting focus toward per acre limits.

Sediment Pollution From Farms Threatens Gulf of Mexico
Lincoln Nebraska extension conservationist Yaroll H. Gilman notes farm sediment carries 710000 tons of nitrogen and 20 tons of phosphorus annually to the Gulf of Mexico, with Mississippi River loads around 435 million tons. Research shows grass watersheds and parallel terraces reduce soil loss, while up and down hill farming causes the worst erosion. Costs vary by topography and ditches, with government cost sharing offered through the ASG program.
