Farm relief bill creates half-billion revolving fund
Congress enacted a farm relief package establishing a $500 million revolving fund from the federal treasury to be managed by a federal farm board. The board will promote cooperative marketing and lend to cooperatives or stabilization corporations that buy and sell commodities to curb price swings. The act aims to place farming on par with other industries, though immediate crop impacts are unlikely, and debate continues over tariff revisions and export bounties. The session also approved reapportionment accompanying the decennial census, extending representation to about 13,000,000 people.
