"Consumers might oppose the bill because it could increase the food pri ces by up to 10 percent," said Barb Meister, a junior. Another group which might be opposed is the grain storage companies who will lose the money they, currently get by storing surplus grain, she said. Also known as the Family Farm Act of 1987, the bill is similar . to one that was proposed in 1985 but was defeated. After its failure, the National Fair Credit Committee began working on debt restructuring legislation. After about a year and a half of grass-roots work, the current bill was written, Meister said. "Meetings concerning this topic were conducted in every state," Meister said. "Eighteen meetings were held in the Nebraska so there was a lot of input by people in agriculture." If the bill passes, each agricultural interest group including the corn growers and the wheat producers would have to approve the program for their commodity, Meister said. There would be mandatory produc tion control with farmers required to set aside a certain percentage of their land depending on the size of the farm, said Lee Wagner, senior agriculture honors student. Each farmer's conser vation program would also have to be approved by the government. The first year, the price support would be raised to 70 percent of parity and in the following years raised 1 per cent until it reached 80 percent, he said. Parity is the price the government guarantees to pay the farmer for products. RHA additions increase costs RHA from Page 1 Johnson said students' costs should be minimized. He said this year's exec utive branch, headed by Michael Baacke, accomplished several goals for residence-hall students: getting cable tel evision authorized, changing meal tic kets plans from a required 20 meals a week to a choice of 13 or 20, paper towel dispensers in all the bathrooms. But the additions increased room and board costs, Johnson said. "We want to concentrate on what we have already and see if we can't improve on those terms," he said. Baacke, a computer science major, said that Johnson is a "goal setter" who has many firm ideals. But, he said, those ideals may change once he gets in office. "This bill would not only add $21 billion to the farm income but, also ,it won't cost as much to the tax payers," Wagner said. Economists at the Food and Agricul ture Policy Research Institute of Iowa State University and the University of Missouri project the Family Farm Act would, on average, from 1988 through 1995 generate over $21 billion more in net farm income annually than the cur rent farm program. 4(&J II r . ; f - 1 . - j 474-6153 yJJ'-"' 120 No. 14th Thursday Nights 3 Cookies for $l PICKLES NEW DOWNTOWN STORE NOW OPEN AT 17th & P :;,:l; f? irnAfl f? rrrzy-rirP r Lji Li J Li lj ,,. ... .V. v w f::: yi . w w : : ;:: ii: ,v VV.
