Ag board members deny secretary already selected
Four State Agriculture Board members who voted to accept Agriculture Secretary La Verne Ausman’s resignation say a state farm newspaper article implying a new secretary has been chosen is untrue. They insist the selection process will be open, with applications reviewed and a vote after formal hearings.

Reagan Signs 52 Billion Farm Bill With FCS Bailout
President Reagan signed a five year farm bill totaling a record 52 billion dollars aimed at boosting subsidies and restoring U S export market share. The measure lowers price supports for major crops, subsidizes income, and ties benefits to soil conservation while backing a Farm Credit System bailout of about 70 billion dollars.

Farm bill details slow to unfold after signing
USDA officials say despite President Reagan signing the farm bill, it will take weeks before details are clear. The Economic Research Service notes loan rates for major crops may fall while current target prices and dairy supports hold for one to two years. The plan includes acreage reduction and cash land diversion, a long-term conservation reserve of 40 to 45 million acres, and an 18 month whole-herd dairy buyout program.
