Fight to Save Small Farms Faces Long Odds
Washington AP reports the Johnson administration under Secretary Orville Freeman is holding meetings with low income farms to develop methods to stop the migration from farms to cities. The effort mirrors wartime and New Deal programs but US farm numbers have fallen from 6.7 million in 1933 to 3.18 million, a 52 percent drop, as farm technology and scale favor larger units. Freeman plans more than 100 meetings and considers subsidies to ease the exodus, with future action tied to election outcomes.
