Farm bill cuts eyed by House panel in 1981 plan
House Agriculture Committee chair Kika de la Garza says cuts totaling hundreds of millions in potential price support payments will be made to meet budget targets. The panel adopted a bill $800 million to $1 billion above 1982 spending limits, while GOP alternatives promise smaller increases. Administration pressure and dairy price support disagreements shape the debate as Eckart plans a Wisconsin swing with Gunderson.
