Rep. Stenholm urged deeper budget cuts, warning another 15-20 billion could hit, while criticizing Reagan era policies. He questioned supply side economics for agriculture, citing 90 percent of grain exports controlled by three foreign firms and subsidies to the Soviet Union. He noted high interest rates must fall for recovery and defended defense cuts to trim the 188 billion budget. He tied the boll weevil label to the Conservative Democratic Forum, tracing origin to Rep. Omar Burleson.

He cites four benefits including better root and stand development, early grazing readiness, faster straw decomposition, and higher forage and grain yield, while noting straw from prior crops can steal soil nitrogen and reduce fall availability.
