Compromise Farm Bi
/ WASHINGTON, D.C. -
'Sen. Jesse Helms, chairman
of the State Committee on
? .Agriculture, Nutrition and
(Forestry, said the com
:: promise Farm Bill passed
the Senate late Friday is
~a fiscally responsible piece
oof legislation which will
• serve farmers well.
The tall, known formally
~as the Agriculture and Food
: Act of 1961, was passed
I Friday afternoon following
sa week-long debate on the 16
.ii titles of the legislation and
"57 proposed amendments.
Total cost of the four-year
•'’bill is estimated at $8 25-
'billion, down about $2-billion
- ’from the Senate Agriculture
'Committee’s original
: proposal, according to latest
’Congressional Budget Office
- * figures. Changing crop yield
•estimates, inflation, and
other factors increased the
original bill’s estimated
•cost, Helms noted.
Much of the savings in the
-ibill came from a trimmed
down dairy program and
: .-reduced target prices,
Helms said.
“As in most compromises,
-•there are many features
that please no one - and it
has been said that this is
always a sign of a good
compromise,’’ Helms said.
“But overall, the 1961 Farm
Bill is a step toward
•: restoring profitability to
- farming while at the same
.-time heeding the economic
’’facts of life that exist
today,” he added.
“This is the first time a
■: farm bill has had to be
fashioned under such
-stringent budgetary con
straints. In the past, the sky
• :has been the limit for farm
legislation,” Sen. Helms
said.

He said the bill “reflects
an effort to reach a bi
partisan solution to our
many farm problems,” He
commended Senator Walter
D. Huddleston of Kentucky,
ranking minority member
on the Committee, for his
cooperation and assistance
in work on the Farm Bill.
The four-year bill will
replace the 1977 Farm Bill,
which expires September 30.
Before the new bill goes into
effect, the House of
Representatives must pass
its version, with any dif
ferences between the two
being worked out in a
conference made up of
members of both
agriculture committees.
Both houses of Congress will
then vote on the conference
version.
In a related action, the
Senate tabled an amend
ment to limit the im
portation of casein products.
Caseins are used as a milk
substitute in processed
cheese manufacture, among
other uses.
Other major provisions in
the bill include:
- PEANUTS: A com
promise peanut program
was accepted that
eliminates the allotment
system but retains the
poundage quota system,
with a boost in the support
price from the current $455 a
ton for “quota” peanuts to
$596 a ton, with an annual
adjustment escalator based
on cost of production. Under
the peanut provision,
anyone may grow peanuts,
but only those with poun
dage quotas which have
been tied directly to allot
ments, are eligible for the
higher support level.
- WHEAT: A minimum
ill Passes
target price for the 1962 crop
year was set at $4.00 per
bushel, with an additional 20
cents added in each of the
next three crop years ($4.60
in 1965). The minimum loan
rate was set at $3.50 per
bushel.
- FEED GRAINS: The
minimum target price for
crop year 1962 was set at
$2.70 for corn, with an ad
dition 15 cents added in each
of the next three crop years
($3.15 in 1985). The
minimum loan rate was set
at $2.50 per bushel. Target
prices for other feed grains
would be established on the
basis of their feed value in
relation to corn.
- SOYBEANS: Loan
rates will be set at 75 per
cent of the 5-year national
average price received by
farmers as reported by the
Statistical Reporting Ser
vice of the Department of
Agriculture.
-- COTTON: The
minimum target price for
crop year 1962 was set at 71
cents per pound, with an
additional 5 cents added in
each of the next three crop
years (86 cents in 1965).
- TOBACCO: Although
not a part of the farm bill
amendments were offered
that would have eliminated
or substantially altered the
tobacco program. An
amendment by Senator
Mark Hatfield to repeal the
tobacco program was tabled
by a vote of 53 to 42. Two
amendments by Senator
Thomas Eagleton to
authorize adjustments in the
price support levels for
different kinds of tobacco at
the discretion of the
Secretary of Agriculture
were tabled by a vote of 48 to
45 and 41 to 40.
- CONSERVATION:
Provisions are included in
the bill designed to
strengthen local programs,
provide technical assistance
and other measures.

All veterans need to band
together as never before.
Hopefully, the Vietnam
veterans will see this truth
and join the VFW before all
their, and our, rights have
been stripped away by the
many anti-veteran elements
in today’s society.

Edenton, was organized on
June 17,1977. It was felt that
the post would be named

shown to their country.
These men received top

Recently, Post 10398
presented a gift of ap
preciation to Walter S.
