Congress debates farmer to consumer marketing program
Washington AP report on the Agriculture Department’s farmer to consumer marketing initiative facing sharp congressional scrutiny. Despite surveys showing direct farmer sales at roadside stands, critics argue the program hasn’t proven itself in 18 months. The House approved a one year extension to Sept 30, 1979, with Senate action identical. Details note ongoing projects proceed while no new ones start, and budget questions linger about $1.5 million yearly funding and past $2 million totals.
