Candidate seeks plan to give away surplus
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Phill Kline, the Republican nominee for Congress in Kansas' 2nd District, yesterday called for the United States to give away all its grain surpluses and eliminate artificial government market supports to allow farmers to earn a fair price for their products.
Kline, a law student at the University of Kansas who is challenging incumbent U.S. Rep. Jim Slattery, D-Topeka, said the distribution of surplus wheat and corn would be a humanitarian move by the nation and would benefit U.S. farmers at the same time.
"Our current grain surpluses are hanging like a sword over the farm market resulting in unbearably low commodity prices." Kline said at a news conference.
"Our government-owned and stored surpluses should be provided directly to the hungry in this country and in friendly nations — sharing our bounty with the needy, decreasing our surpluses, allowing domestic prices to adjust at a higher level and
strengthening our friendships in an uneasy world."
The goal is to turn the agricultural markets back over to farmers and the free-enterprise system so that demand for food dictates what crops are grown rather than government loan programs and market supports influencing what grains farmers plant.
"Higher prices must be considered the long-range solution to the farm problem." Kline said. "Currently, the government has purchased and stored 1.4 billion bushels of corn and 900 million bushels of wheat. The storage of these commodities costs approximately $700 million annually. In addition, we currently have enormous amounts of surplus milk, cheese and eggs rotting in caves.
"These surpluses can be provided to the needy, reducing the cost of storage and helping the farmer by permitting domestic prices to rise."
Kline said the free grain would be given to nations friendly to the United States and not to current customers of U.S. products. He said the grain should go directly to the starving.
