Power to Select Advisory Councils sparks farm relief debate
In Washington, April 12, the senate faced a final vote on the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill. A key point was who would name advisory councils for major crops, with southern lawmakers pressing for presidential appointment and Senate confirmation to ensure farmer representation. The measure includes a $400 million fund to stabilize prices, a dedicated cotton allocation, and government loans to cooperative marketing bodies, with councils able to veto board actions if crop interests are harmed. The debate underscored the bill’s path toward enactment, despite opposition.
