Johnson urges permanent farm aid for idling lands plan
President Johnson asked Congress to make permanent the farm aid program paying billions to farmers for idle land not needed for crops. He warned prices would drop sharply if extended and noted the plan, part of a broader rural aid package, faces strong opposition in Congress and in farm groups. The policy, approved in 1985 for a five year trial, now expires next year as payments exceed 3 billion dollars annually under supply and price stabilizing programs for wheat, feed grains, cotton, and wool. Other items include extending Food for Freedom, studying farmer bargaining power, establishing a national food bank, boosting food stamps, loan and grant aid to small farmers, and rural job training.
