AFBF Adopts Policies At Annual Meeting In New Orleans
Delegates from the American Farm Bureau Federation propose creating an international monetary food fund funded by nations to buy food where needed for emergencies. They oppose grain reserves and insist the best reserve is productive U S land and farmers. They favor recourse loans, decry inflation, support free world markets, and urge energy conservation. They criticize wage and price controls and push for market based agriculture with reduced direct payments.

Farm Act payment and market prices alignment note
The 1973 Farm Act provides direct payments to producers when market prices fail to reach target levels. Currently market prices sit well above the established targets, reducing or eliminating the needed payments.
