Farm Leader Sees End of Agricultural Welfarism
Charles B. Shuman president of the American Farm Bureau Federation says times are changing and that federal government involvement in farming will end in favor of a free market. He urges phasing out compensatory payments of about 3.5 billion dollars a year and moving farmers away from farm welfare toward market-oriented policies. Shuman notes GOP support and Nixon’s election have boosted Farm Bureau, but says long-term goals must be publicly stated and that past patchwork farm programs should not extend beyond a year. He cites 1963 wheat referendum as a turning point toward voluntary programs and signer of the 1965 Food and Agriculture Act. He is 62 and eligible for one more two-year term.
