Farm Bill May Not Be A Failed Effort
Georgia Peanut Commission Uurges Growers
To Contact Congressmen And Senators
Amidst confusion caused by
the failed effort to pass a farm
bill in the Senate, the Georgia
Peanut Commission (GPC) is
encouraging farmers to strive
for an attitude of hope and not
one of desperation.
"In 1995 we didn't even pass a
farm bill until well into 1996,"
says Bob Redding. GPC's
lobbyist in Washington. "We
have come a long way and this
is hardly the time to give up
now."
The Commission took a
position in February after
months of study on the politics,
the impact of the trade agree
ments, and possible solutions to
the ills of the struggling
industry. The board voted to
support a marketing loan
program similar to those in
place for other crops, seeking a
loan rate of $500 per ton. They
also felt that quota holders
needed to be compensated for
the loss of quota and suggested
a 14-cent per pound per year
payment.
"We knew that we couldn't get
everything we asked for but we
left ourselves room to negoti
ate." says Armond Morris,
GPC's chairman of the board.
"By keeping our focus, we have
certainly made a lot of progress
since then. We have more than a
lot of people ever thought we
could get."
A farm bill passed by the U.S.
House of Representatives
includes a marketing loan rate
of $350 per ton. The bill also
establishes a target price of

$480 per ton and a 10-cent per
pound per year quota buyout. It
also includes a fixed decoupled
payment of $36 per ton. In the
version passed by the Senate
Agriculture Committee the
Loan rate was increased to $400
and the target price was
increased to $520.
"What we have to do now is
generate calls to our Congress
men and Senators telling them
that they have to finish this farm
bill immediately when they
return to Washington in
January," Morris says. "We need
bankers, farmers, farm suppli
ers, land owners and anyone
else that depends on agriculture
for a living to be calling if we
are to succeed."
Should a new farm bill not
pass projections suggest that
farmers could be faced with a
$160 per ton added assessment
in 2002 to pay for cost in the
peanut program from the 2001
crop when the USDA set the
quota too high and quota was
placed in the government
controlled loan program.
"I am confident that if we
keep our focus we can prevail
early next year but the pressure
must come to bear so that they
pass a farm bill," says Joe
Boddiford, GPC's vice chair
man of the board. "The issue is
much, much bigger than
peanuts."
