Forty eight Democrats joined Republicans to defeat the bill, which critics said would cede control to the Agriculture Secretary and impose land purchases and world welfare programs. The outcome pleases the Farm Bureau and farm writers who opposed the plan and calls for meaningful, freer legislation to relieve farmers from controls.
