Poortinga farm visits reveal farming life and views
The Poortinga family on a nine year old 90 acre farm discuss prosperity, credit, and farm policy. John Poortinga favors not cutting acreage to curb production, urges building demand and wages, and notes oats and corn yields and a new two acre feed trial. They describe relief spending concerns and election views as threshing ends and a community ice cream treat is shared.
