Cut farm subsidy programs in Nixon budget plan
The Nixon budget cuts farm subsidies by more than a quarter starting July 1, reducing Rural Environmental Assistance Program funding to 10 million from 182.5 million and trimming overall farm and rural development spending by 1.1 billion. REA financing shifts to private investors at higher rates, emergency FHA loans are not reinstated, and some low income housing and disaster aid programs are ended while more affluent borrowing continues.
