Ripon Society urges end to U.S. farm subsidies by 1976
Cambridge based Ripon Society proposes a four point plan to phase out federal farm subsidies by 1976. It calls for market oriented pricing, aid to marginal farmers' transition, and removal of subsidies to barely profitable farms. The plan targets deep South disruption, includes land retirement, retraining grants, and tax incentives to move to rural areas. It urges urban and suburban congressmen support to pass the program.
