Flexible Price Supports Split Senate Over Farm Bill
Senator Potter voiced support for flexible farm price supports amid a Senate showdown on the farm bill combining the soil bank with a 90 percent parity floor. The proposal would pay subsidies to reduce production and offset surpluses, while critics warn of price declines in livestock and dairy markets. Senate Democrats favor 90 percent parity.
