Block Promises Kansans Support Cuts and freer market
U S Secretary of Agriculture John Block spoke at Independence High School promising no economic miracles for agriculture but pledging Reagan administration support for a freer farm product market. He argued for less government involvement while expanding demand, and noted farm subsidies would shift with a leaner budget. Dole defended his vote and contrasted wheat price targets with House figures amid a tense farm bill debate.
