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

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.

THE SILAGE INOCULANT
THAT BEATS
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 2,1985-A23
“Our bill will stress commodity
loan prices based on market
realities, the elimination of the
farmer-owned grain reserve
program, continuation of the in
come protection provided by
target prices and additional fun
ding of export development and
export credit programs,” he said.
“While Farm Bureau can agree
with some specific areas of the
Administration proposal, such as
market-oriented commodity loan
levels, we disagree with much of
the proposal and will instead push
our own bill in Congress.”'
