WASHINGTON (AP)-The
Clinton administration is pro
posing new farm subsidies that
would take effect when commod
ity prices are low.
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-

i, and Capacities. 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.
