Wilcox Questions Old Creed of Agriculture
Dr. Walter W. Wilcox former Iowa State economist now with the Congressional Library speaks to Farmers Grain Dealers of Iowa. He contrasts the enterprise creed with the democratic creed arguing freedoms differ and calls for a national conference model to review farm price supports. He warns against assuming off farm income and job access offset farm income losses and urges new economic institutions for farmers to share in economic progress.

Rural factory jobs lift incomes and shrink farms in study
Mr. Koffsky reports younger rural workers shift to new plants with an average age around 30 versus 50 for farm heads. Plant wages rise faster, with many workers farming on small plots. About one in four plant workers operate farms, reducing farming days by up to 50 percent. Industry broadly benefits communities by increasing income and jobs.
