Farmers for the alleged high price of food
Freeman argues farmers subsidize consumers, not the opposite, noting farm output per hour has tripled since the 1940s while farm incomes lag. He cites USDA data showing food costs fall from 27 to 20 cents per dollar of income and contrasts American and Russian wages and farm feeding patterns to defend farm profitability and supply.
