Administration backs farm program overhaul plan
The Bush administration backs an overhaul of farm programs shifting subsidies toward conservation and revenue insurance. Lugar’s five year plan would phase out crop subsidies for grain and cotton, boost conservation spending, and fund insurance or deposits for many farms including fruit, vegetable, and livestock operations. It would cost about 82 billion dollars, with broader support and criticism from lawmakers and farm groups as Congress considers a new farm bill ahead of September 2002 expirations.
