Reagan aims at farm aid and reform to revive agriculture
President Reagan touted two December 23 bills, the Food Security Act of 1985 and a Farm Credit System rescue plan, as beginnings of an agricultural recovery. Agriculture Secretary Block said these moves, along with deficit cuts and tax reform, could bolster farming, though some farmers may still fail in 1986. The administration argues lower supports could boost exports by making U.S. commodities cheaper abroad.

Farm bid analysis shows $88 000 total recovery need
Koszarek outlines a whole herd buyout bid example calculating three years of expected gross income minus costs, plus losses from slaughter cattle. The farmer would need $88 000 total, or $14.67 per hundred, which exceeds the $10 per hundred minimum, suggesting the program may not be worthwhile. The article also notes exports drop to $29-31 billion and Purdue’s Paarlberg disputes farm crisis labels, urging realism about the farm bill’s limits.
