The piece argues farm bankruptcies, declining agricultural income, and misaligned prices between farm outputs and inputs. It notes fluctuating crops, especially corn and cotton, and urges organization through co operative marketing to balance supply with demand, improve prices, and elevate farming’s role in the national economy. It stresses that farming must join broader industrial organization to avoid ongoing distress.
