UNL ag crisis talks weigh pros, cons of proposed legislation
By Laura Smith
Staff Reporter
The HarkinGephardt Bill should
create a lot of controversy on Capitol
Hill, said a student who has studied
about a bill Wednesday night in the
last of a series on the ag crisis in the
East Union.
"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

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.
