Lugar pitches 30% crop subsidy cuts through 2000
Sen Richard Lugar proposes cutting farm subsidies by 30 percent through 2000 to trim the Agriculture Department’s Commodity Credit Corporation spending. The plan, presented at a Senate Budget Committee hearing, would reduce corn price supports and export subsidies by 15 percent over five years and cut EEP funding by 3.9 billion, aiming to address the budget deficit with policy impact and offsetting relief for producers.
