Farm Bureau chief says Congress will tinker with 1985 farm bill
Dean Kleckner president of the American Farm Bureau Federation says Congress will tinker with the 1985 Food Security Act but will avoid mandatory crop controls or higher supports. He notes Congress changes farm laws about every nine months and cites a likely trade war with the European Community over Spain and Portugal grain losses but expects no rapid dramatic shifts. A regional soybean clinic is set for Norwalk with talks on production weed control diseases and variety selection.
