Butz Farm Posture Faces Senate Doubt Amid Farm Policy Clash
Washington reports say the Senate Agriculture Committee remains uncertain on Earl L. Butz as farm secretary while the Nixon administration argues farm policy under the cloud of a record corn crop and dock strikes. Palmby Campbell and other aides defend policy, citing weather and export disruptions as factors in low feed prices and inflation relief steps. The USDA expects net farm income near 1970 levels, even as critics question Butz’s ties to large agribusiness and his Eisenhower-era past.
