Congress Eyes Farm Aid And Pesticide Law Reforms
Congress plans action on farm aid measures as it wraps up the 99th Congress. Proposals would speed cash payments to wheat farmers, allow the Farm Credit System to use different accounting, and cap federal payments to large farmers. An overhaul of pesticide laws and stricter grain quality standards are planned, with reauthorization of the CFTC likely. The Boren sponsored plan would speed payments within five months after the marketing year begins. Page 2.
