Butz Leads Farm Price Supports Attack Says Melcher
Rep. John Melcher says the Nixon administration and Agriculture Secretary Karl L. Butz launched a calculated assault on his plan to raise government price supports for grain. Melcher contends the move aims to derail his bill amid the holidays. Butz warns it would wreck exports and cause overproduction, while noting concerns over low prices. The battle centers on raising corn supports from 1.05 to 1.31 dollars per bushel and a related government grain reserve measure.

Wheat Man Sees Backing For Price Help From Butz
Vic Haas of Hemingford Nebraska Wheat Growers Association accuses Secretary Earl Butz of stabbing the family farmer in the back for opposing a bill boosting wheat and feed grain price supports by 25 percent. Haas cites House passage of HR 1163 and the Melcher Amendment and says Butz opposes strengthening price supports, arguing it would wreck the U.S. export program and hurt farmers who must export at production cost. He recalls Butz’s pledge to bolster prices and support family farms.
