White House seeks end to disaster relief grant clause
The White House plans to urge Congress to drop a 1972 disaster loan provision that converts the first 5000 of emergency farmer loans into an outright grant. Agriculture Department officials say the report to Congress mid January considers eliminating the clause as part of a broader push to curb spending and halt most further farm disaster loans through June 30. Critics say the cut-off harms farmers, especially in the Midwest, facing crop losses.
