House Rejects Advance Payoff Under Soil Bank
The House voted 181 to 157 against a Eisenhower plan to authorize up to 500 million dollars in soil bank payments this year. The vote split along party lines with Democrats accusing the measure of election year vote buying. The bill would have allowed the secretary of agriculture to pay farmers half of their soil bank entitlements before they retire acreage.
