Farm PACs Spend Over 5 Million in 1984 Campaigns
Federal records show farm oriented political action committees spent more than 5 million to back House and Senate candidates as a major 1984 farm bill debate loomed. Top groups included the Associated Milk Producers PAC with over 1 million for about 270 candidates, while smaller groups like the Agricultural Aviation Association contributed nearly 1,000 to incumbents. Dairy groups led the field with more than 2 million, while broader agribusiness and chemical interests joined the lobbying surge amid four year farm policy renewal.
