Note
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.
