Scope and Contents
The Agricultural Act of 1970 was passed by the House of Representatives, and is now pending in the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry. The Grange did not support the bill, as it would lower farm income and widen the gap between the price farmers receive and the cost of their inputs. The Senate Committee is scheduled to meet soon to take up the bill, but it is not expected to vote on it before the Senate adjourns in September. There is strong support in the Committee for the Food and Agriculture Act of 1965, on a continuing basis, with a $55,000 limitation.
