immediate financial relief
for farmers. He recom
mended an increase in loan
rates on wheat, feed grains
and soybeans, plus allowing
additional land to be set
aside in return for per-acre
performance as payment
and implementation of
provisions in the Export
Administration Act to
permit foreign countries to
buy U.S. gram and store it
domestically without being
subject to export controls.

Scott said the course of
action taken by Congress
and the Administration
within the next few weeks
will determine who remains
in agriculture. He said
changing domestic and
world conditions since the
passage of the 1977 Farm Act
have made the economic
formula in the Act used in
setting target prices and
loan rates inadequate to
keep up with rising
production costs and
declining farm prices.
Continuing his testimony
before the Committee, Scott
recommended several long
range legislative im
provements to further aid
the cash flow and income
problems of American
farmers. He strongly urged
that the present limited crop
insurance and disaster
programs in the 1977 Farm
Act be combined to provide a
federal insurance program
to cover all crops and all
risks. He said ad
ministrative changes are
needed in the Farmers
AND
shipments, continuation of
bilateral trade discussions
with Japan to further in
crease grain shipments and
finalizing an International
Wheat Agreement.
Congress of farm plight
Home Administration Act to
increase its farm loan
supervision capabilities. He
said additional funding is
needed along with changes
in the disaster loan
programs which would allow
repayment privileges of up
to 10 years and a provision
for a repayment moratorium
if conditions justify.
Scott asked the Committee
to lend their support to a
marketing and bargaining
bill which the Grange and
others are currently drafting
and will be proposing in the
near future. The bill would
allow farmers to organize
themselves to bargain and
negotiate for better prices,
terms of delivery and con
ditions of sale.
Scott said the Grange
supports legislation to im
prove and increase
agricultural exports in-
1978 Agricultural
Trade Act, 1978 Agricultural
Trade Expansion Act and
extension of the “most
favored-nation” principle to
Russia and China. He urged
the Committee to resist any
attempts by the Ad
ministration to dismantle
the Department of
Agriculture and said the
Administration’s 22% budget
cut for USDA for fiscal 1979
is both unjustified and
unrealistic.
