Congress to delay cropland retirement program revival
Congress halted actions to reactivate the long term Cropland Adjustment Program for 1970. The decision came as House Senate conferees finished the Agriculture Department appropriations for the year ending June 30. Basic CAP authority expires in 1970, but a new omnibus farm bill next year could reopen the issue.
