Plains Farming Votes Set Soon On Ag Programs
Plains farmers brace for action on extending farm programs in the Senate and House next week. The Senate Agriculture Committee backed a four year extension of the Agricultural Act of 1965, with potential amendments debated. The House bill preserves current programs for one year, while a four year extension faces anticipated opposition. Also reported are crop outlooks for the High Plains and Trans Pecos, with carrot and onion harvests near, tomatoes improving, and hog price forecasts from ERS. Five South Plains 4 H members win a Producers Grain tour. Floyd County agent Wilson accompanies prize winners.
