How the FCS land giveaway could hurt young farmers
Ward Sinclair argues that using Farm Credit System land to prop up the Farm Credit System risks transferring 1.5 million acres from Farmers Home Administration reserves to large, affluent buyers. He warns the plan would hurt beginning farmers, widen land ownership by outsiders, and deepen dependence on federal aid amid 1980s farm distress. He cites Lyng praise for opportunities for youth but notes risks without strict oversight and tighter loans.
