FARM BILL UPDATE
Members of the farm bill conference will officially meet on Tuesday
April 9 after returning from a two-week Congressional recess. During
the recess, conference staff has made little progress on differences
between the House and Senate bills, raising speculation about the
substance of the April 9 meeting. Regarding the Marketing Loan
Program, House staff offered their bill's formula loan rates as the
starting place for negotiations. Under those formulas, loan rates
for all commodities would drastically fall from current levels; minor
oilseed would fall below $8.70/cwt., which is the House bill's ceiling for
the minor oilseed loan rate. The starting position of Senate staff
in the conference is that the final bill must contain loan rates higher
than current levels. This disagreement on loan rate levels has
largely stalled further discussions on other commodity program provisions
like target prices, base acres, payment yields, and levels for decoupled
payments. Both sides are reluctant to publicly acknowledge that
chances for completing the farm bill in time for the 2002 crop are
dwindling due to the slow progress.
