Change in America's approach to agricultural policy
Lincoln professor Dr. James G. Kendrick urged fundamental changes in U S agricultural policy during the 1970s arguing that the term agriculture has been misinterpreted as a rural backdrop rather than food production He called for differentiating small family farms from large commercial farms noting big business farms produce over 80 percent of U S food and face different investment and price stability needs He warned the nation must face the reality that many rural families earn near the poverty line due to technological progress and that political and economic constraints prevent prices from rising to adequate levels for those households The urban population has grown denser reducing sympathy for rural needs and shifting dynamics in policy focus
