Soil bank plan eyed for upcoming Congress session
A soil bank farm relief plan appears likely next session with costs and administration open to debate across party lines. Secretary Benson noted the National Agricultural Advisory Commission gave general approval to a five to ten year program offering up to 400 million dollars in year one to pay farmers for keeping land out of production and for grass and tree plantings. Some Democrats and farmers favor a larger program, with Hubert Humphrey proposing 500 million to 1 billion dollars yearly, a plan rejected earlier as too costly.
