The article argues that farmers are not primarily to blame for food shortages in 1946. It notes a 31 percent rise in food production since 1935–39 and higher civilian consumption across beef, eggs, pork, milk, and cheese, while butter availability lags due to milk use. It cites distribution problems, black market bidding, and fading rationing as key factors, asserting that farmers supplied the food and uneven distribution worsened the situation.
