hole herd buyout, and other,

amily farmers) didn’t lose
;erything,” he said.

cuts slated by Gramm-Rudman to
take effect on March 1,1986 would
come from U.S.D.A. Mullins ex
plained that $832 million of the $1.2
billion scheduled to come from
agriculture would be taken from
the Community Credit Cor
poration, most likely affecting any
contract signed after January 1,
1986.
The national family farm ad
vocate outlined some of the
legislative projects which the
National Farmers Union has
begun in hope of easing the impact
on family farmers of both lower
farm income under the Food
Security Act and budget cuts under
Gramm-Rudman.
With credit expected to be even
tighter this year than it was last
year, NFU is working on a bill to

operating loans Mullins said such
a bill woUi‘l have a much better
chance of withstanding a
Presidential veto during this
election year.
The general farm organization is
also developing a proposal for
producer referenda on the issue of
supply management programs in
feed grains for 1987 and 1988. The
proposal will be similar to Rep.
Berkley Bedell’s (D-Iowa)
provision to let farmers decide
their own fate, which was removed
from the farm bill just prior to the
final House vote.
Mullins said that NFU is 'also
working on an alternative to the
Food Security Act that would put
all basic commodities into a
marketing order system. Such a
system would provide income
guarantees to farmers, yet would
be more responsive to prices in the
marketplace, thus making the idea
more attractive to those espousing
a free market system.
