The Senate Sets a Ceiling on Farm Payments
The Senate has voted to limit individual farm subsidies to $20,000 per year, and has also approved a $500 million increase in food stamp appropriations for needy families. The House Agriculture Committee is expected to approve a similar measure today. If enacted, the measure would cost the nation's big cotton growers $48.2 million in annual federal payments.
