Farmers Suffer Most Under Great Society Analysis
Henry J. Taylor reports on a six page Agriculture Department critique by Frank Le Roux who quit his $25 000 a year post under Secretary Freeman. The piece asserts the Great Society harms farmers by inflating bureaucracy and eroding real income while farmers carry a heavy tax and price burden. It highlights surpluses shrinking from 87.2 billion to 1.8 billion and vast land taken out of production, with subsidies reaching individual farmers up to 187 000 yet no parity for major crops. The article critiques Washington rhetoric and calls the era a great death by action for farmers.
