Johnson proposes study of farm programs after omnibus bill
President Johnson signed a four year omnibus agriculture bill worth about four billion dollars for 1966 and urged the most thorough study of federal farm programs. He announced a National Advisory Commission on Food and Fibre led by Dean Berg to report in 18 months and a Food and Fiber Committee led by Secretary Freeman. The aim is to cut taxpayer costs, strengthen cotton wheat and feed grains, reduce surpluses by 1970, and expand city county cooperation using surplus cropland for recreation and beautification.
