Payments To Farmers Should Increase
Washington AP The Agriculture Department budget experts project farm program payments will rise to about 778 million dollars in fiscal 1978 starting October. This year payments total about 723 million, up from 521 million in 1975-76, after earlier highs in 1972-73 and declines tied to higher crop prices. The 1973 Farm Act tied payments to market price drops, but rising prices reduced need, though disaster payments remain possible for droughts or weather delays.
