Farm Bill aims at balancing production and demand
Washington reports the 1962 omnibus farm bill tightens acreage cuts across major crops including corn and wheat to reduce surpluses. It links payments to 60 percent of normal yields, expands marketing orders, widens loans and credits, and extends programs from Wool to Feed Peace, aiming to stabilize farm incomes and price supports through 1965.
