Senate Farm Bill Proposes Sugar Price Cut and Subsidy Revisions
The bill would lower the guaranteed sugar price from 18 to 16 cents per pound and tighten subsidies for farmers earning over 500000 annually. It also shifts toward sustainable agriculture, ends animal toxicity testing for product safety, and authorizes 250000 to study timber harvest and deforestation effects in New York and New Jersey highlands. The package aims to increase wood product exports, require 20 percent of a 730 million budget on alternative crops by 1993, and sets a viability bar for farms with more than 100000 in annual sales while noting tax and net-worth contrasts between full-time farmers and the average family.
