House Farm Bill Sets 37500 Dollar Subsidy Ceiling
The House Agriculture Committee approved a sweeping general farm bill with a 37500 dollar per-crop subsidy cap and a target price plan for wheat corn and cotton. Supporters frame it as a path to floor action in July despite potential veto risk. The plan keeps food stamp programs, but drops the wheat certificate program and seeks to adjust subsidies via target prices tied to costs. The vote was 31 to 4 with Rep. Wampler present.
