Sleeper clause may push AFBF away from 1973 farm bill
The American Farm Bureau backers a 1973 farm bill with modifications but add a sleeper clause opposing any ceilings on individual payment support. The clause could force AFBF to withdraw support if ceilings remain, signaling a shift from 1970 policy and aligning with calls to reduce government payments while stressing farmer returns from market sales. The group also opposes grazing restrictions on idle land tied to subsidies.
