Senate OKs 20000 Subsidy Cap for Farm Wheat Subsidies
The Senate approved a 20000 limit on farm subsidies for wheat and related feeds as an amendment to the agricultural appropriations bill. Sponsored by Sen Ralph Smith Bill the measure would cap annual subsidies at 20000, arguing that a small elite receives most benefits while many farmers get under 500 yearly. The 40 to 35 vote reflected a shift toward restricting big farm subsidies despite earlier failure in the prior year.
