More Money To Boost Farm Prices
Washington March 8 committees of both Houses voted for a 2 billion dollar increase in Commodity Credit Corporation funds to support farm prices. The House Banking Committee approved 17 to 2. Senate Agriculture showed no opposition. Secretary Bran nan cited potential CCC investments up to 5.3 billion if harvests are normal, with 3.6 billion already in the program at year end.
