Entrepeneur Witmer Urges More Farm Investment for Abundance
Mrs H L Witmer of Tipton told Iowa urban and rural women at the All Iowa Dinner in Des Moines that there is no substitute for good management and enterprise in maintaining food abundance in the United States. She outlined Iowa farm investments exceeding 16 billion and farm products over 3 billion, stressing agriculture as Iowa’s key industry and noting farmers gain only about 37 cents of the consumer food dollar. She cautioned against overemphasis on surpluses and urged support for a land retirement program to balance production with need.
