!'■ Semite Agriculture
l ■immittee reported nut a
muddied version of the Dole
Hentsen bill lo provide
flexible parity It a farmer
decides to plant only ."Hi
percent of his acreage this
seal, he would be eligible for
pntv supports etjual to 100
percent parity. 11 he sels
aside less than 50 percent,
his support price would lie
reduced. Thus ii allows the
farmer to decide for himself
what level of support he
wants to receive by setting
aside a certain amount of
acreage. This is a one year
program (hat would help
reduce production and thus
eliminate present surpluses.
Also reported out of the
Agriculture Committees in
the Senate and the House
were bills to set up a new,
temporary emergency loan
program for established
farmers. This two-year, $1
billion loan program is
designed to help farmers
make it through this year.
I support both the
emergency loan bill and the
flexible parity system as
good, short term programs
to provide some immediate
help to farmers. However,
they are only temporary
programs and should not be
considered a solution to the
farm crisis.
Congress must come up
with a totally new farm
program that will preserve
our family farm system.
Such a new program can not
be accomplished overnight.
It will take time to change
the government programs
that have been developed
over the past 35years.
