Title (Dublin Core): Weekly Radio Report: Agriculture & Farming
Description (Dublin Core): Congressman Bob Dole explains on his weekly radio report from Washington, D.C., the current status of wheat legislation. Because U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Orville L. Freeman is out of the country, and Republican’s minority status in Congress, Dole does not believe any action will happen, even though Congress is having hearings. He discusses the possibility of a stopgap proposition late in the year, an extension of the then-current program for another year, or the possibility that no legislation be passed. Dole shares his opinions of what should be done, and explains that farmers need to know if there will be penalties for upcoming choices made in planting their crops, alluding to the fact wheat is planted in late autumn. He closes by sharing some things Congress is currently spending money on – they are presented as frivolous, which underlines agriculture’s importance – and encourages listeners to write to him.
