Amendments were filed by Smith to alter a two price plan for rice and curb imports, and Schoeppel sought authority to sell up to 100 million bushels of surplus wheat for livestock feed prices. Prior to debate, Aiken Capehart and Kuchel noted political revolt against Eisenhower farm policies had collapsed.
