Title: A Farm Policy Proposal: Full Participation Markets in Contracts For Future Delivery
Authors: Shaffer, James D.
Issue Date: 1990
Notes: The "farm problem" is one of poor market performance not one of a poor underprivileged group needing welfare payments. Thus, the challenge is to develop institutions that will improve the performance of the agricultural economy. I propose that selected farm commodity markets and farm price support programs be replaced with a system of contracts in which all buyers and sellers are required to participate.
