Washington July 14 conference leaders patched differences on all but one issue in the $680 million farm appropriations bill and agreed to send to both houses a proposal to sell up to 125 million bushels of wheat for livestock at about 8 cents a bushel. McNary said the house would likely consider selling government held wheat at full parity price for corn, about 97 cents a bushel, a stance the senate opposes favoring 83 cents. The deal keeps a key administration provision for efficient low price feed to aid meat and dairy production. They also allocated $32.5 million for farm tenant loans and boosted administration costs.
