Senate Roll Call 793
97th Congress · 1982-08-05
S. 2774: TO AMEND THE BOREN AMENDMENT TO S. 2774 WITH AN AMENDMENT IN THE NATURE OF A SUBSTITUTE. THE BOREN AMENDMENT REQUIRES THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE TO IMPLEMENT DIVERSION PROGRAMS FOR THE 1983 CORPS OF WHEAT, CORN AND OTHER FEED GRAINS. THE HELMS AMENDMENT MAKES A STRAIGHTFORWARD REQUIREMENT FOR A PAID LAND DIVERSION ON 1983 CROPS. IT REQUIRES THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE TO OFFER TO PRODUCERS A PAYMENT RATE THAT IS SUFFICIENT TO ENCOURAGE PARTICIPATION IN SUCH A PROGRAM. THE HELMS AMENDMENT MAKES THE PROVISIONS OF THE PROGRAM FLEXIBLE SO THAT THE SPECIAL NEEDS OF FARMERS IN SUMMER FALLOW AREAS (I.E., ARID REGIONS OF THE CUNTRY WHERE FIELDS ARE PLANTED ONLY IN ALTERNATE YEARS, SO AS TO MAXIMIZE MOISTURE ACCUMULATION IN THE SOIL) ARE ACCOMODATED. (MOTION FAILED) SEE NOTE(S) 37
