Harold Kilnhold of Preston Md says agencies like Farmers Home Administration fuel egg and poultry oversupply and hurt NE Northeast producers amid the cost price squeeze. States in the 14 state area consider similar action and New Jersey poultry groups back tighter federal lending oversight. Senator Williams of Delaware is studying federal financial aid and NEPPCO has sent its views to him.
