Inflation blamed for woes besetting American farmers
Inflation, not recession, is the nation’s top problem, says Dr. C. Jackson Grayson at Farmland’s annual meeting. He urges less regulation, more productivity, and inflation target of 1 2 or 3 percent, outlining policy steps and predicting wage price controls may reappear in 1975. He contrasts U S inflation with other nations and calls for anti monopoly action and deregulation of agencies. He also discusses rice price support, noting a mandatory 3 percent new farm reserve for producers in 1975 with Feb 14 deadline for applications.
