Farm Crisis Act fails in House ag committee vote
The Farm Crisis Act died 21 to 21 in the House Agriculture Committee with Republicans mostly voting against. North Dakota and South Dakota Democrats introduced the bill to aid grain producers via a set aside and expanded loan protections, while critics like Agriculture Secretary Black questioned its reach. Wisconsin dairy concerns were raised by Rep. Gunderson, who doubted language and potential impact on dairy price supports. Wisconsin Farmers Union president Lee Mulder accused GOP members of partisan pressure in the defeat.
