'* L f Harkin predicts Farm Bill repairs MASON CITY, lowa - The chairman of a U.S. House Agriculture subcommittee predicted here, Sunday, Congress will re-open the 1981 Farm Bill during the coming session to made needed repairs in farm programs. U.S. Rep. Tom Harkin (D-la.), who spode Sunday night to a Cerro Gordo County Democrats dinner in Mason City, said Congress will take a second look at farm programs because it is now clear the 1981 Farm Bill program “has hopelessly failed. It basically proclaimed that we don't really need any meaningful farm programs and it is now clear that approach just hasn’t worked.” Mounting farm economic troubles make clear the need to “get back to good, sound farm programs which have worked well,” Harkin said. “We need a good set-aside program, a good land diversion program, a good soil conservation program, and policies which make low interest loans available for fanners.” “As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, and the chairman of one of its sub committees, I say to you tonight that not only must Congress act to do these things in the coming session, it will.” Harkin also urged the President to sign “contract sancitity” legislation now on his desk to help “make certain we’re doing everything we possibly can to increase our export sales and to ensure that nothing jeopardizes those sales.” “The farm economy is in trouble,” Harkin added, “and as long as the farm economy is ailing, the rest of the economy will con tinue to ail. As agriculture goes, so goes the nation.” Harkin has been a member of the House Agriculture Committee since 1975. He currently chairs its subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy and Poultry.
