Economist sees compromise on farm policy with Carter era
Washington analyst Don Paarlberg foresees room for compromise next year as Carter's administration may push higher farm supports in a Democratic Congress. The Purdue economist notes policy disputes are muted and sees less ideological rancor than in the 1950s and 1960s, warning against prices that price commodities out of markets and spur surpluses.
