Backing wasteful farm measures splits Farmers Union stance
Mike Carr criticizes the National Farmers Union for backing costly farm bill provisions including high guaranteed prices and an escalator tied to production costs. He cites opposition to food stamp limits for strikers and calls for fiscally responsible policy with HEW managing emergency reserves and program consolidation. He notes popcorn acreage decline and warns of higher prices if consumption remains high.
