Reagan slams Carter, outlines own farm ideas LANCASTER Governor Ronald Reagan has labeled the Carter administration’s farm policy “an un precedented disaster” and pledged the goal of the Reagan agricultural program will be to make farming profitable again. Reagan charged Carter’s policies have pushed farm operating costs higher than at any other time in history, driving tens of thousands of farm families from the land. “If government payments were made on the basis of the damage done by government, farmers all over America would be eligible for disaster payments right now,” v Reagan said. He charged Carter has - failed to deliver on promises he made to farmers. “If only farm families could pay bills with promises; could buy equipment and fuel with promises; if only they could clothe, feed, and educate their children with promises... But what Canidate Carter in 1976 promised and what President Carter since 1977 has done are not the same to put it in the most charitable terms.” Reagan made the remarks as he outlined the farm policy he will pursue as President. The speech took place on a farm outside Des Moines owned by the Robert Lounsberry family. The Republican presidential candidate pledged to begin his revitalization of the economy with emphasis on agricultural economics. “The American people want policies based on confidence and optimism, progress and growth, not on the gloom-and-doom, aimless leadership we have seen for the last three and a half years.” He said the Reagan farm program will begin with an infusion of new ideas into the 1981 farm bill that will be considered by Congress next year. “The first step is to have the federal government stop robbing American farmers through inflation,” he said. In addition, Reagan pledged to: appoint farmers and “those who understand farming” to government policy positions “so government can be a help not a hindrance *- to America’s farmers.” He said he would devise a plan for aggressive ex pansion of agricultural exports with direct, per sonal, presidential support.” He will insist on eliminating unfair trade barriers and take prompt action to prevent foreign dumping on U.S. markets; plus he will immediately review all regulatory programs with the objective of “freeing farmers from unnecessary... regulations. ’ ’ Reagan said he *lll Small game season to open today i protectors showed that there two grouse per day, with a season squirrel and grouse should be fairly good possession limit of four after hunting, shooters often have populations of both grouse the first day of the season. a chance at woodcock and and squirrels this year, with Wilson’s or jacksnipe.
