New Farm Battle Over Beef Cattle Subsidy Emerges
Washington AP reports a new farm dispute over taxpayer subsidies to convert cropland to grazing land for cattle. The Kennedy administration backs expanded grazing to meet beef demand by 1970, aiming for 90 million acres versus 40 million in projection, with beef herd to 99.5 million from 74.9 million. Opposition from the American Cattlemen’s Association argues subsidies favor newcomers and burden current producers who financed past grazing land themselves.
