Freeman and Benson clash over future farm programs
Washington reports Freeman and Benson clash on how to steer farm policy. Freeman backs tighter federal controls under Kennedy to cut production, while Benson argued Congress would not pass or enforce such tight limits. Freeman previews testimony to Senate and House committees, proposing a plan to hold wheat and feed grain output below annual targets for years, while milk policies would be adjusted accordingly.
