President proposes higher farm support for 1977 78
The plan sets $2.47 for 1977 and $2.90 for 1978 with a new allotment system based on current planted acreage. Disaster aid grows and shifts toward an insurance model covering 100 percent of planted crops. Payment limitations bar non farming corporations from receiving subsidies to curb land investments.
