Tobacco subsidies spark feuds over future of tobacco farming
National scene focuses on a $50 million yearly loan impact and a Molina Blouin led clash with President Ford over a price support bill. Blouin urged Ford to veto the measure, calling tobacco subsidies immoral given medical proof of harm. USDA extended public comment on reducing 1976 national marketing quota for flue cured tobacco, with final decisions due in late November. Crop outlook notes 10 years of decline reversed, production up about 10 percent, with total supply up about 5 percent due to 1974-75 carryover. Foreign competition pressures exports, and industry fears of accelerated decline rise.
