Johnson administration proposals focus on market price reliance for wheat and rice, aiming to cut subsidies and shift farm policy. Critics like National Farmers Union President James G. Patton call the bill unsatisfactory, warning it fails to provide adequate income for farm families. American Farm Bureau Federation President Charles B. Shuman brands the plan a hoax designed to widen dependence on subsidies and raise consumer prices.
