Stanford Seed RRI, Box 405 Denver, PA 17517 (215)267 3805 Farm Bureau opposes ’B5 Farm Bill WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Reagan Administration’s farm bill proposal “is based solely on budget considerations with a total disregard for its economic impact on farmers,” according to the president of the American Farm Bureau Federation. Robert Delano, a Virginia com and soybean farmer, said the nation’s largest farm organization would oppose the proposal. “The Administration’s bill has been constructed to fit within budget guidelines established by the Office of Management and COCHECTON MILLS, INC Cochecton, NY 914-932-8282 717-224-4144 JOHN R.

WIAND Spring City, PA 215-495-6595 Budget with little thought to the effect on farmers. Even those of us who want to see a reduction in government spending cannot support a farm program based solely on budget consideration,” the farm leader said. Delano said Farm Bureau will have a farm bill introduced in Congress in mid-March. The Farm Bureau legislation will stress programs designed to enhance net farm income rather than continue the income stagnation that agriculture has suffered for the past five years.
