Six Principles to Help Farmers Share in Prosperity
The Program Committee proposes six major principles to boost farmer welfare while cutting costs for non-farm residents. It urges farm policy to align with free markets and national well being and to avoid conflicting programs such as land reclamation and soil bank that pull lands in opposite directions. The plan calls for an Agricultural Advisory Board to guide discretionary policy and ensure timely, effective implementation by Congress.
