Battle Over Farm Credit Agencies Control Sparks Split
The dispute centers on whether Farm Credit agencies should be separated from the Agriculture Department and placed under a bi-partisan board or kept under direct Agriculture with an advisory panel. Proponents of separation, led by Rep Flannagan, argue independence like the Federal Reserve, while others and the Farmers Union favor remaining in the Agriculture Department with executive influence. The issue divides lawmakers, unions, and farm groups, with concern over impacts on the Farm Security and related programs.
