Farmer must pay full cost of conservation work
The elimination of the Rural Environmental Assistance Program ends cost sharing for conservation projects. Area official Ernie Rust says the Soil Conservation Service will still provide technical and planning help, but farmers must fund construction. Midwest lawmakers, led by Rep. Bill Scherle, promise to seek restoration, criticizing the administration and the 1973 Feed Grain program amid concerns of overproduction and market volatility. The REAP cut was justified by economic review. critics insist environmental needs require government aid, with the final application deadline past December 22.

Farmers Home Administration reform urged by NFO delegates
National Farmers Organization delegates at the Kansas City convention urged a congressional investigation into Farmers Home Administration policies. They demanded impartial federal investigators in borrower disputes, halting loan accelerations, end of harassment of former borrowers, and accurate closure practices. They pressed for stronger farm price and income protections, a permanent farm bill, 25 percent higher minimum price supports for cotton, wheat and feed grains, a strategic reserve, and clear conservation rules. They endorsed non recourse loans, on farm storage, reseal programs, and storage payments matching warehouse storage. They urged passage of the Family Farm Act and active state efforts, warning that land and farm facilities accumulation by large corporations threatens the industry. They called for stronger producer bargaining, opposed placing bargaining under a government authority, opposed dismantling the Department of Agriculture, and supported negotiations for an international grains agreement aligned with production costs plus a profit.
