Farm bill fight aims to raise wheat and corn price supports
Administration strategists fear efforts to lift price support targets in the omnibus farm bill will prevail in a House vote next week. The measure would raise 1977 wheat target to 2.65 dollars and corn to about 1.8 dollars, adding hundreds of millions in potential federal payments, while Senate and White House pressure seek moderate increases. Rebellious farm bloc Democrats and some Republicans may push higher rates, but administration officials expect House leadership to defeat such amendments. Conference committee remains likely after House and Senate bills are merged, with Carter signaling veto power if total costs exceed about 2 billion.
