Committee Blasts Agriculture Dept Criticism of Benson
The House Appropriations Committee assailed the Agriculture Department for political influence in farming policy. It called for 878,625,301 in cash and 388 million in lending authority for the fiscal year, a net cut of 6.4 million from requests, and criticized CCC and CSS tied to farm price supports. The report notes declining net farm income, rising costs, and a shrinking farmer share of the consumer dollar, with dire effects in the South including cotton acreage curtailment and widespread farm family hardship.
