House ag panel backs automatic aid for embargo crops plan
The House Agriculture Committee approved raising price supports to 100 percent of the fair parity level for crops that could face embargoes. Rep. Glenn English said the move would deter future embargoes. Chairman Thomas Foley warned it could complicate negotiations with the Soviet Union and other nations. The measure targets grains, soybeans, rice, flaxseed and cotton, and seeks to prevent costly shortages during supply lulls. Senate action on its farm and food stamp package could add about 2.1 billion dollars annually if weather cooperates.
