It cites government figures showing food costs up about 35 percent while medical care and rent rise sharply, and notes wholesale prices for farm products have fallen. Estimates of farm income in 1966 show low disposible income and hourly wages, arguing misconceptions persist and urging readers to promote accurate farming realities.
