Findley Backs Farm Bill Fight Over Payments Ceiling
House Agriculture Committee moves to forge a compromise farm bill with a one year extension of crop supports while Rep. Findley pushes to keep a $20 000 cap on annual farm payments. He argues the limit would cut program costs and benefit small farmers, citing 1967 data showing Texas and cotton states receive large sums.
