Glickman touts 11.5 billion farm plan as new policy base
Washington Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman promotes an 11.5 billion proposal to fund a new farm policy focused on environment and small producers. The plan includes 5.6 billion for supple mental income payments through 2002, 2.7 billion for conservation, 1.2 billion for pesticide runoff reductions, and tax credit-like discounts on crop insurance. Critics warn of a 30,000 dollar cap and potential price suppression, arguing it misaligns with rural needs amid low prices and disaster aid.
