The Department of Agriculture's Farm Program and Advance Payment Schedule

John Ogden writes to Congressman Happy Camp to thank him for his recent letter regarding the advance payments on the farm program. He notes that the Department of Agriculture has advised that the full payment will be made as soon as possible after July 1, which is earlier than in previous years. Ogden also mentions that the House Agriculture Committee is currently redrafting proposed legislation on the farm program, and that provisions have been made for advance payments to farmers for the wheat, feed, grain, and cotton programs. However, he notes that it is not yet clear what the final form of the legislation will be.
