Senate Won't Lower Side On Crop Supports
The Senate defeated moves to curb crop payment subsidies and halt tobacco price supports. A 45 to 22 vote rejected reducing the maximum annual farm subsidy from 55 000 to 20 000 for limiting crops. Senator Bayh argued the measure would aid family farmers and save about 150 million dollars yearly. The tobacco halt bid and a food stamp funds increase were debated, with Humphrey winning approval to raise food stamp funding by 270 million over the Nixon request.
