November farm vote remains a key factor in 1964 race
Washington experts warn that despite a shrinking farm population the farm vote still wields outsized influence. They note 1963 farm numbers at about 13.7 million people on 2.6 million farms, with two eligible voters per farm, and compare to 1948 and 1960 shifts. Goldwater’s farm stance favors free markets and subsidies ending. Freeman touts rising farm income under Johnson while signaling continued farm program use, including parity measures and price supports.
