Congress weighs fate of peanut program amid 1962 reforms
The House adopted Lundine’s amendment to abolish peanut allotments and quotas for 1962, creating open planting and a single loan rate. The vote 250 to 159 sends the measure to conference with the Senate where a 1982-85 peanut plan will be shaped, drawing strong reaction from growers and manufacturers alike. Ross Wilson of the Southwestern Peanut Growers Association criticizes the turnout as driven by misleading information and vows to push through a workable 1962-85 program.
