The “supplemental income” payments, estimated to cost tax payers $3.1 billion this year, would vary in size according to fluctuations in crop revenue. They are meant to substitute for emergency subsidies that Con gress has made the past two years to compensate growers for a collapse in exports and com modity prices. Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman said the program would “strengthen the farm safe ty net” until Congress rewrites existing farm policy in 2002. “Payments will increase when times are the toughest and will taper off when prices rebound,” Glickman said in a conference call Friday with farm broadcast ers. The administration’s propos al, which is similar to an idea offered last year by Rep. Charles Stenholm, D-Texas, is certain to run into opposition from many producers and lawmakers be cause of the limits on the pay- Greencastle Livestock Market March 16 2000 Hay & Straw Report Supplied By Auction 12 LOADS OF HAY. 2 LOAD OF STRAW, 14 LOADS TOTAL.

Call For Information, ments, The payments would be peg ged to the average gross income nationally over the past five years for eight major crops corn, wheat, cotton, rice, soy beans, sorghum, oats and bar ley-and would be capped at $30,000 per operation. Most farmers would get far less than that because their annual “mar ket-transition” payments, the fixed subsidies they receive under the 1996 law, would count toward the $30,000 limit. Some 1.3 million farmers cur rently receive market transition payments, and 200,000 get at least $lO,OOO a year. Of those, 30,000 receive more than $30,000. “The size of an operation doesn’t necessarily limit the dif ficulty that anybody has finan cially” said Dick Newpher, chief lobbyist for the American Farm Bureau Federation, the nation’s largest farm group. “We would like to help all of agriculture.” But John Schnittker Sr., a private consultant and former Agriculture Department econo mist, said that capping the pay ments “is the right thing to do, bofit from the fiscal standpoint, to avoi'irunaway costs, and from the standpoint of getting most of the money to relatively modest size farmers.” The program would fix what the Clinton administration and some producer groups see as a major flaw in the 1996 farm law, which scaled back income-based farm subsidies, ended controls on planting and gave farmers a .. series of fixed annual payments.
