Block Backing 1983 Budget Cuts Farm Programs
Agriculture Secretary John Block told the House Agriculture Committee he is firmly committed to Reagan’s 1983 budget proposal which would cut farm program spending by about 20 percent while keeping doors open to adjustments. He warned rural lending and nutrition would bear the heaviest cuts but stressed targeting to protect needed aid and cited $20 billion in new credit alongside $112 billion in outstanding loans. Critics argued nutrition and food stamps would hit the working poor and elderly, with proposals to shift some costs to states briefly considered but rejected.
