Remedy for Low Prices in Agriculture Proposed by Van Wyck
In a discussion from Country Gentleman, J. T. Van Wyck argues for reduced farmer output and labor cuts to create price scarcity and boost income. He suggests focusing on crops suited to land, avoiding constant shifts, and warns against cheap western lands draining prices and labor value. He asserts market prices rise with scarcity and criticizes unions and strikes, claiming they fail without demand constraints.
