Budget cuts target USDA programs and CCC payments
The administration proposes a 500 million cut to USDA spending for agriculture and rural development, with CCC financed commodity programs taking a nearly 600 million decrease. The plan aims to replace income support with performance payments tied to farmers' adjustment and participation in set aside programs as part of the 1970 act extension.
