—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 31,1979 44 Crop WASHINGTON - Senator Herman E. Talmadge (D- Ga.), calling for a major overhaul of the Nation’s farm disaster programs, recently introduced the Carter Administration’s comprehensive crop in surance bill. Talmadge, chairman of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, said he hoped the Administration’s proposal, along with other crop in surance bills already in troduced, would provide the basis for the development of a “workable, nation-wide program of disaster protection that will be available to all farmers when and where they need it.” An Agriculture sub committee headed by Senator Walter D. Hud dleston, of Kentucky began hearings last week on new farm disaster legislation. Along with the other proposals, it will consider the Federal Production Protection Act of 1979, which was introduced by Senator Talmadge at the Ad ministration’s request. Beginning with the 1981 crop year, the Ad ministration bill would make available to all U.S. farmers protection against loss of production of major crops due to unavoidable or natural causes with coverage available for up to 90 per cent of the cost of production. The program would operate similar to the Why StoreKbur Grain in a BROCK! REPUTABLE! DEPENDABLE!

Talmadge said the development of new disaster legislation is “priority business for his Com- mittee.” He noted that the disaster payment provisions of the Food and Agriculture Act of 1977 will expire with the 1979 crop year unless extended by Congress. The Administration proposes a one-year extension of those in the interim before its proposed program would begin operation.
