R. M. Evans argues farmers in the Federal Reserve System support price stabilization as wartime demand subsides after victory in Europe. He states farmers have resisted inflation through increased production and see stabilization as patriotic, with peacetime demand expected to fall.
The text states farmers face deflation risks while agriculture must adapt to war-time surplus handling. industry, by contrast, will likely see inflation until postwar reconversion. It notes civilian production will lag behind demand, including items farmers have lacked since the war began.

If controls end before peacetime production and supply stabilize, farmers face selling at war-time lows and buying at inflated prices. Enduring controls protects national economic welfare until restoration of normal production.
