Farm price supports extend to different crops and quotas
The draft bill provides supports from 60 percent to the peak level from 1948 for non basic crops like dry beans peas flaxseed potatoes and perishables. It would let the secretary reduce supports to curb surpluses or boost them during tight production. Continuous supports and price supports remain under separate law. The bill keeps acreage controls and marketing quotas but lawmakers doubt quotas will be tracked much next year. House leaders expect passage before adjournment and without action basic commodity supports would fall to 5 to 7.5 percent of parity by December 31 while others would lapse.
