Senators Back Benson Soil Bank Aid Amid Drought Debate
In Washington a bipartisan group praised Secretary Benson for approving soil bank payments this year to compensate crop reductions due to natural causes while Ellender cautioned it reeked of politics. Senators Carlson Kerr Case Mundt Young defended the plan saying it aids farmers in Kansas and the Midwest as Congress intended, with opposition raised over policy specifics and motives. The piece also notes Benson’s earlier comments that the program isn’t disaster relief and outlines official limits on payments for voluntary reductions.
