Farm Policies - - A Paradox

Extract

Many facets of the much discussed and maligned “farm problem” were examined in the National Advisory Commission report on Food and Fiber. This report was readable, cohesive and on the whole, quite informative. All the essentials of our dynamic and complex agriculture were touched upon. Members of the Commission represented a cross section of thinking concerning the industry of agriculture. It appears that they presented their ideas and objectives with a view toward what was good for all of agriculture. Consideration was given not only to farm numbers and sizes, but also to the human resources involved in agriculture and rural America.
