Farm Bill Provision Knocked Out in Conferees Move
Washington Senate house conferees knocked out a senate approved provision of the farm bill. Opponents argued it would lower cotton prices and raise supports by five to ten dollars per bale. Sen. Ellender warned the move may end farm legislation this session. The measure would have changed cotton price supports for 7 percent middling and longer staple cotton. Proponents said it would boost U. S. cotton in world markets. The Agriculture Department estimates the change would cost at least a billion dollars more annually.
