Fight Over Rigid Supports Heats Up In Senate
In Washington lawmakers opened a drive to remove rigid farm price supports tied to a new billion dollar subsidy. Sen. Aiken challenged the policy, arguing rigid supports failed to boost farm prosperity while the Agriculture Committee voted 8–7 to keep them. The debate looms as key to the farm bill, with flexible supports favored since 1954. A separate measure would refund about 6 million dollars in federal gas taxes to farmers, advancing after House approval and Senate Finance Committee referral.
