Farm Issues to Play Lesser Role in Election This Year
Washington editors of the American Farm Bureau federation say farm issues will matter less in the current presidential race than four years ago. Instead voters will focus on Korea war foreign aid government spending economic controls and corruption charges. Editors noted 1948 Truman win relied on midwestern farmers worried about grain prices and price supports. They foresee hog price ceilings likely easing as production falls and predict higher farmer turnout than 1948.
