Delano, a Virginia grain farmer, said a new four-year farm program should move away from dependence on target price, avoid support loan rates that would stimulate overproduction and protect farmers from any future commodity embargoes The farm leader said Farm Bureau generally accepts the farmer-held gram reserve concept FRANK A.
