Free Lunch Aid May Boost Farm Income in Iowa
Prof Geoffrey Shepherd of Iowa State College in Ames says the $235 million national school lunch and food stamp program will reach farmers mainly through surplus purchases and price effects. Iowa, a top agricultural state, stands to gain due to large fund share and early benefits may be stronger than later ones as production responds to rising prices. He notes the program represents about 1.5 percent of annual food spending and warns for gradual price changes rather than sharp shifts.
