Kennedy farm bill critique by Illinois agricultural group
William J. Kuhfuss of the Illinois Agricultural Assay denounces President Kennedy's farm message, arguing the plan would abolish free enterprise in agriculture, empower the Secretary of Agriculture, control prices, threaten consumers and farmers, and use the extension service for political propaganda. He warns the measure would set a dangerous precedent for the entire economy.
