Title: ARE CURRENT U.S. FARM COMMODITY PROGRAMS OUTDATED? ARGUMENTS IN THE NEGATIVE
Authors: Knutson, Ronald D.
Issue Date: 1985-12
Abstract: Over the next two decades a level of government involvement in agriculture comparable to that of the past two decades can be justified. Indigenous, cyclical, and secular characteristics of agriculture provide a strong defense of this position. Abandoning commodity programs would have adverse consequences. A realistic set of policy goals is presented and suggestions for fine-tuning government programs are offered.
