Farm Credit Bailout Bill Draws Farmer Criticism
Craig Adams and Kitty Pityer of the Farm Unity Alliance condemn a Senate Farm Credit System Bailout bill as anti farmer and pro executives. They warn of reduced local board power, a new Capital Corporation with vague rules, and potential foreclosures, urging readers to contact their congressman and oppose the measure. They call for real debt reform and criticize both Kasten and Proxmire.

Farm leaders urge loans on unharvested Wisconsin crops
A letter to Secretary of Agriculture John Block argues that heavy snows and moist soils froze corn and soybean harvests in Wisconsin. It says 21,105 farmers in the 1985 feed grain program cannot receive $1.8 million in Commodity Credit Corp loans or payments because unharvested crops cannot be used as collateral. It urges temporary lifting of rules to allow loans and payments on unstored crops, citing precedents in advance payments. The note highlights the worst harvest in 13 years amid forage shortages and calls for administrative action while Congress debates the farm bill.
