Compromise Farm Bill Is Given Okay
Washington AP Congress passed a compromise farm bill authorizing new price support concepts while preserving food stamp access for striking workers. It sets target prices for wheat, corn, and cotton, caps payments at 20000 per farmer, and ends the wheat certificate program retroactive to July 1. The measure boosts milk support to 80 percent of parity this year and next, with future support at 75 percent. The bill transfers price control powers to the secretary of agriculture and allows presidential adjustments if shortages arise.
