Lawmakers urged to craft workable farm bill in careful debate
Washington officials in the Agriculture Department pressed for a practical crop control program and warned against hasty legislation. They favor longer debate to shape a farm bill funding subsidies totaling 650 to 750 million dollars, while President Roosevelt seeks to cap new spending at 100 million and find new revenue. Senator Lee proposed a voluntary allotment plan with direct market bounty and loans, backed by key Democrats and Republicans, potentially scaling down benefits above 600 dollars by as much as 95 percent if a farmer’s share tops 2,500.

The unemployment tax will rise from 1.8 to 2.7 percent to cover the payments.
