U.S SENATE PANEL VOTES TO LIMIT COUNTY LOAN DROP The Senate Agriculture committee voted to limit changes in county loan rate differentials starting with the 1988 crop as part of a budget deficit reduction package. The panel also approved measures that could trigger larger corn and wheat acreage reduction requirements, increase farmer-held reserve storage payments, reduce a potential milk support price cut, and require advance deficiency payments for producers of major crops. A proposal to require imported tropical oils be labeled on U.S. food products failed by a 10-8 vote.
