Farmers’ support should drop, Harston says Farmers receiving maximum amounts in government support payments should expect to see them chopped by as much as 60 or 80 per cent in 1974. This is the studied opinion of Dr. Clive R. Harston of the Agri cultural Experiment Station at A&M. “It is inevitable that the limi tation will be lowered with the next farm bill, which is being drafted now," he said. “The ques tion will only be by how much." Harston, a specialist in agricul tural policy in the Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology, explained that a farm er is currently limited to receiv ing no more than $55,000 in pay ments for each crop program. Al though there is some talk of do ing away with support payments altogether, Harston said more realistic estimates suggest a low ering of the ceiling to $20,000 or even to $10,000 p»er person per crop program. The $20,000 limitation has al ready been endorsed by a major farm organization, he explained, and is getting the support of many congressmen considered sympathetic to agriculture. Why? Harston said limitation concessions are being made in an effort to turn some farm critics into allies. “Because farm supporters rep resent such a small minority in Congress, they must of necessity make alliances with other non farm minorities — groups which would support farm programs on the condition that payment limi tations be lowered.” “Some of those who advocate lowering payment ceilings believe such action will save the govern ment a great amount of money,” Harston continued. “But it is un likely that this will happen.” The $55,000 limitation, which has been in effect since 1971, has probably caused no measurable reduction in costs to the federal government, he contended, be cause it affected very few farm ers. “In Texas, for example, only 235 farm operators were draw ing more than $55,000 in any crop program before the limita tion was impjosed. A reduction of the payment lim it to $20,000 will have a much greater impjact on agricultural op erations, Harston said, “This lowering of tlieij support ceiling is suppi aimed at helping small fan he explained, “but thiswffli the case. As long as pa amounts are tied to the pu of a product reaching them the income support prograj be relatively ineffective in them.” Because the big operata duces more—seven percent nations’ farmers produce! agricultural products-ls ously receives higher suppoil ments, Harston said Vol. • • •• •• •• •• •• •• 9 w • * • • • " • w # . • m m m m m • OEt MOHTE SOPER WlWR WWS SAtE. aJt pel monte ~ GOLDEN CORN TH£$£ PRICES COOP THURS PR/. * SAT.
