Governors Speak Out on Farm and Food Problems
Three farm state governors voiced views on farm economics and food distribution. North Dakota's William L. Guy argued farmers receive 39 cents of every food dollar, down from 60 cents decades ago, urging fair treatment and credit while inflation bites. Harold Hughes of Iowa countered there has never been a farm surplus, only distribution issues, noting global needs. South Dakota's Nils Boe urged treating agriculture like business to ensure prices cover production costs, calling crop surpluses a fiction and economic abundance instead.
