Environmental aid for farmers fairness urged in subsidies
Washington AP The Agriculture Department top conservation official calls for a fairness doctrine to ensure farmers receive an even share of federal environment subsidies amid debates over ACP cost sharing. R M Davis of the Soil Conservation Service notes subsidies began 40 years ago to curb Dust Bowl erosion, while 1976 proposals seek to cut ACP cost sharing from 175 to 85 million without direct comment on the plan. The agency provides technical help, not subsidies, and Davis argues programs must be economically sound on their own.
