Dixon faults Reagan cuts in agriculture policy
U S Senator Alan Dixon criticized President Reagan's proposed 20 percent cut to the USDA budget at a Shawnee RDC meeting in Carbondale. He warned soil conservation would drop 30 percent, threatening 900 jobs and accelerating soil loss on 140 million acres. Dixon urged urgent action on food production with less land, and noted opposition to broad military spending boosts while backing accountability in Abscam, El Salvador policy, and energy mix for Illinois.
