Free market path for agriculture urged after farm bill defeat
In a June 27 1962 editorial the Monroe News Star argues that after the Kennedy administration farm bill was set aside, regions by the soil should pursue free market solutions. It cites Harvard professor Hendrick Houthakker and suggests keeping acreage payments briefly but moving toward a gradual repeal of controls with cushions for those holding allotments. Government farming controls are condemned as ineffective policing, urging Congress to reinstate farmers into a free enterprise system with staged adjustments.
