Sugar price fight shapes farm bill debate in House vote
Rural and urban lawmakers pushed an $11 billion farm bill through the House with a free food stamp program for the needy and higher price supports for farmers. A veto threat loomed as conferees prepared to reconcile with the Senate version. The bill also raises grain supports for 1977 and sets a new sugar price floor, potentially boosting table sugar by about five cents a pound. The food stamp provisions aim to extend access, tighten eligibility, and test work requirements for able bodied recipients.
