Republican Farm Policy Aims for Fair Prices and Cooperative Growth

It calls for improved credit for modern farming, higher parity for farm prices, and mitigation of inflation’s impact on inputs. It promotes cooperation through farm cooperatives and rural electrification while outlining directions for future policy.
