Aiken Urges Veto Over Farm Bill Feed Grain Section
Sen Aiken of Vermont said he would recommend another veto unless the Senate drops a section that boosts livestock feed grain prices from the new soil bank farm bill. He criticized the measure as retaining objectionable features and warned it would raise costs for nonfarmers while aiding a few farmers by about 175 million dollars in soil bank payments. The Agriculture Committee sent the bill to the Senate after a closed-door two hour meeting, with debate over price supports for oats barley rye and grain sorghums and corn outside the commercial area.
