Plan to End Farm Subsidies Sparks Bipartisan Rally
A coalition led by Rep. Charles Schumer and Rep. Dick Zimmer proposes the Farm Freedom Act to end crop subsidies after six years. It targets corn, cotton, rice, and wheat payments, cuts acreage idling and price-support loans, and bans subsidies to individuals earning over 100000 off farm income. The measure seeks to shift to a free market approach with support from Heritage Foundation and consumer groups.
